I have for sale here a set of Piob Mhor Parlor Pipes. I bought these a few months ago and rehemped and oiled them, as they had been sitting idle in an attic for a decade according to the previous owner. I had intended to play these, going so far as to buy a set of Ezeedrone drone reeds made specifically for this set, but my work schedule has been so busy since I bought them and I realize I’ll never get around to them, and I have too many sets already sitting. So I want these to go to a good home.
As you can see from the photos, the set is Blackwood, and the imitation ivory is very high quality. There is beautiful marbling on every ferrule. I did strike these up at some point, and the resonance in the drones is quite rich and lovely. A very mellow tone indeed.
I never could get the chanter going, so this set may need a new chanter. The blowpipe also needs a new tip. But all in all, a very beautiful and lovely sounding vintage set. Piob Mhor is no longer in business, so this set is a rare find.
I’m asking $700 for sticks and stocks, and would like to keep this sale limited to the lower 48 states. Thanks for looking! I can send more photos to any parties that are interested.
