I don't know, there just seems to be something inherently wrong with watching a video on the internet without a lot of moaning and ... oops ... wrong forum. Sorry :oops:

You only need to hear it to remove all doubt.

Great sounding chanter, great sounding player. One of these days it will be a real treat to hear BK in person. Has a bidding price been set yet?

Joseph, I'm awfully sorry.

It's okay Joseph, really, don't mention it.

Thanks Joseph, I really like you.

Let's not go there Joe.

Uh, yeah, alright....thanks Joe.

You're welcome Joe. Hey, you'd look mighty fine with an Ironwood chanter by BK, Joe.

Yeah, I', gonna bid on it Joseph!

Not if I beat you to it Joe!!!

Say goodnight Joe...

"Goodnight Joe"......... :shock: :shock:

Fair play to BK for donating a chanter to a worthy cause and all the best to Jerry O'Sullivan. The bottom D sounds very off on the video though, probably a new reed that just needs adjusting
