I simply must see more close-ups of this set. In fact, I insist upon it!

Nice pictures Paul and thanks for sharing them with us

Any possibility of some more, especially of the chanter top keys and regulators. I am about to order regulators and want to lean on my pipemaker to make a similar chanter with these two top keys.

If these are the top d and e what is the long key on the side - high c# ?

The chanter top used was not OEM.

Long Key on the side of chanter is second octave d. The keys held by the plates at the top of the chanter are double acting keys giving third octave e and f# - the top part acts against the lower section to open the hole. An interesting spring arrangement keeps the keys together and stops them rattling.
These top keys appear on at least two other Taylor chanters - the Beattie double and also one of Ivory that has been retro fitted with post mounted keys over the open tone holes.
Chanter is a cross between a narrow bore and wide bore so possibly an early Taylor set.
Throat 3.97mm / Bell 12.7mm / O/A length 370.68mm.

In fact this (above) is the same chanter from which these measurements come from if they're from the Balderose set.

An ivory Taylor chanter? Are there any existing (see attainable) photos of this chanter?

The article is in The Pipers Review Vol XXI No 1 - Winter 2002
"A Taylor Ivory Chanter"
By Wally Charm

There's also a picture of Mr. Nicholas Burke with a Taylor ivory chanter on page 280 of O'Neill's IMM.

A Kiernan/Quinn in C sold by s.b. from Kansas. There were no bellows with it but I had these Kiernan-bellows from my practise-set. The optical restoration is finished now and the functional restoration might take place next year. David wrote that it once had belonged to Al Purcell who had it chrome-plated when working for Ford in Detroit.
