Yow! $1800? I believe I *will* look for something a bit less rarified at that.

You've gotta admire the fine woodwork, though.

Limey is that vintage? You don't see nice scrollwork like that anymore.

Made for me by Mr Tedrow this year, dar. Hence the price tag (there's a lot of fiddly stuff inside, too, springs'n'levers'n'valves'n'all ...)

Why thankee Griff! I have a couple of vintage instruments which I'll get round to posting at some point ... they're fab, too!

Why wait, eh? This one's about 100 years old (apart from the hand-straps):

I LOVE that instrument.
Do you have the Dan Zane's sea shanty CD? If you want it I'll mail it to you.
I also knew a guy that had one that I am buying. He passed away not too long ago (I miss him a LOT). Sailorman was a very hip, no-bullshit, kinda' guy who taught me a lot of what I knew about pipes and pipe smoking. I try to keep his legacy alive. His music (I have heard it on-line) is cool.

No one was impressed with my jaw-harp chops...
