“…We have not met,my name is Stephen Vickers I am a pipemaker from just outside Dublin.I just read your post and am upset to think that just £25 could cure such a horrible disease.I would like to offer you a chanter(ebony,brass,and imitation ivory).You might be able to auction it off. ….”
“…That chanter is an exact copy
of Joe Mc Kennas c# chanter.Joe,s chanter is the only c# chanter as far as
I know that Leo Rowsome made.Anyone looking to get an idea of the sound
should listen to Joe,s early cd,s.because my chanter sounds exactly the
same.Joe played it for about half an hour before I packed it up,and you
could,nt tell the difference between both chanters.
Good luck with the sale…..”
The chanter is now with me and is open to offers. It is in perfect tune with itself.if anyone is interested they can email me
haicead@aol.com
I don’t have a mp3 file but as said above ye can get an idea from one o Joes earlier CDs or ye can fone me and I will be happy to play ye a tune.
Steve normally sells these at 800 Euros.
The reason this is so special is that it is completely unsolicted from Steve and ALL the money will go directly to help our Lepers.
At the end of this there will be some very happy people.Some very happy special people.The buyer, the maker, and most of all the sufferers, who will benefit from the sale.The special people as I call them.That is why this is a special chanter.
Thanks for reading this and if ye want to make an offer email me.

"...Perhaps as a practice set it would fetch more for such a good cause
I would donate a set of bellows similar to those on ebay if a bag can be found
The bellows can be seen here
