...also you better know how to make chanter reeds, or have someone make one for you...it does NOT come with a reed.

Never mind, way before coffee for moi.

I'd contact the Bensons regarding a reed... who better than the makers?

Looks to me that the above reeds are for two different pitches of chanters.

Interesting as they do not look like they are my normal chanter reeds. I use Oboe / Bassoon wrapping thread with Red for the Uilleann Chanter, Black for the Regulator and Blue for Pastoral Chanter reeds. I also use copper wire for bridles. Occasionally I use a multicoloured thread for specials but these look like they have been done with yellow hemp

However there is a very slight possibility they were made by me for someone who turned up at St Chartier with his practice set of Hevia pipes only to find that they were not in the UP business any more (can anyone confirm this) and could not supply any reeds

Practice set on eBay.

I don't get a good feeling about this one. The seller isn't using his own photo, but one that he downloaded from the UPB website. Also, he has 2 negative reports in his feedback.
