Tell us something.: If you flush your toilet 7 times whilst lilting "The Bucks of Oranmore", an apparition of one of the great pipers of old will appear in the mirror, you will be blessed with good reeds, but cursed with bad bags and bellows.

Pakistani set currently going for next to nothing - perhaps it might be of value to someone who wants to play around with it to see if they can get it to sound vaguely musical, or maybe as an ornament in an irish pub

All the leather will be suspect. Their 'tanning' methods are. . .um. . not very appealing. (Often urine tanning). The stocks will be salvageable, but you will forever be marked by the on-off switch. . . .The wind cap is probably salvageable. The drones themselves are absurd. They have overly large reed seets and impossibly narrow bors in the treble and tenor. You might use them to salvage the fittings. . .
The chanter? Who knows. DAMHIKT!
