It's time to thin out my cupboard so I'm offering the following for sale here first before going to ebay (also listed in Used Instruments Exchange):
Martin Preshaw student chanter in D - Ebony & stained boxwood(I think) mounts, Stainless windcap & ferrule. No Keys but blocks are there if you want them fitted. Reeded, plays well.
Peter Hunter wide bore chanter in D - African Blackwood with vintage ivory mounts & 4 keys in brass. Good loud session chanter! Pictures can be seen on the hunterpipes website. Due to the ivory mounts this is a UK only sale. Comes with an Alan Burton reed and I think I've got a couple of spare staples.
Full set in B. Made by Mick Wilkins in 1982. Ebony and Brass with Imitation Ivory mounts. Hollow stock. This was discussed on here a few years ago. It's a copy of a Harrington set which was subsequently stolen soon after being measured. Chanter is unkeyed. The chanter's a copy of a Coyne. This needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to life. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do this and I'd rather it goes to someone who does. It does play and has a nice balanced tone. Would probably benefit from re-reeding. I've fitted a new L&M bag and currently use it with a Ginsberg B chanter in rosewood. No Bellows.
Full Set in D by Alan Ginsberg. Ebony & Brass with Imitation Ivory Mounts. Chanter has 3 keys (Cnat, Gsharp & F nat). Reeded by Allan Moller about 10 yrs ago and still going like a train! Comes with original bellows. I've owned this from new.
Half set in B by Davy Stephenson. Boxwood, Nickel Silver, Silver & Walrus Ivory. Unkeyed chanter. Reeded by Allan Moller. Plays well, but is happier just south of B. No bellows with this set. New L&M bag fitted.
For further details, pictures and discussion around prices please PM me!

I'll take the full set in B for the price you mentioned. I might collect in person, if possible.
