Jarlath was over for the Dutch Tionol in 2002 and he let me try out his new Williams set. Ofcourse a very fine instrument as you can expect from Dave Williams. But it was different from my own Williams and I maybe even better. Jarlath told me that Dave had changed his bore design recently. I wonder if the fact that Williams made a copy of Paddy Keenan's Crowley/Rowsome set had anything to do with this bore change.morten wrote:Full set from Dave Williams - allmost identical to Brian Vallely's. They got them both in 2002. A real beauty in Stainless steel and ebony.
Se them both here:

Dave uses several different bore designs, it depends on what characteristics you want from your chanter.
When I ordered my D chanter, I originally wanted a copy of Jarlath's, but it turned out that the reamer was so worn that he had to compensate with rushes, so I decided to go with the one he used on Brians set. A little smoother and quieter sound apparently.
I believe he will make a new reamer with similar measurements as the worn one. But in the end, whatever you get from Dave is absolutely top notch.

Joseph, do you have any idea how far Thunder Bay is from Toronto? Do you have any concept of driving conditions in January up there at -25C? You might be able to fly in, but you sure won't be driving. I doubt the highways north of Lake Superior will even be open if the wind cuts up.
Chris Langan is usually the third weekend in January, or there abouts. They have not updated their web site, yet. I'll keep you posted, and please take care of those suicidal tendencies.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

I'll have to see if I can find a nice little F-chanter for her tiny fingers
