The Kintails came in, and it is sort of a mixed bag - positive, they are in most immaculate and untouched condition, negative - the seller did not do a great job of packaging them and the chanter and blowpipes both cracked (clearly they were in one piece when the listing pictures were taken). That’s a chance you take I guess. The positive is that I think I can repair them myself; the negative is that I don’t think they are actually ivory. The positive - for $570 all in, these are going to be a fantastic backup set, once I get them oiled and gently reintroduced to being played.

in many ways, this is literally the joys AND dangers of eBay! 🤣
