Now that I think of it - that Patsy Brown set that I once owned had the E note on the baritone reg.

Better than using a Sawzall!

Then Robert Hutton.

Could be Robert Hutton or even Pat Hennelly. The provenance of the set, if available, might assist in the ID.

All I've heard is that to/from NY will be following the most stringent security for quite some time. London is under that same policy.

Years ago, Belfast and Israel were the two toughest places to fly in/out with hand luggage.

Taylor had a set with the E note on the baritone and, on the Touhey set, it is a separate regulator note.

For Comhaltas competition, one must use a 6-hole, 'penny-whistle' style whistle.

They have been embraced by traditi...

The postal service has to pile stuff up until they get a full container, then they find a ship for it. Then, in the US, it is trucked to its destination...

Yes, probably to even out the playing field. Years ago, Comhaltas standardized on 6 tone holes for the whistle, thus ruling out folks with a Cnat tone hole, etc.

Great that you know to go to the seller to figure it all out. If there were issues or concerns, you could take them to eBAY.
