a tale of two bagpipes
On a different thread in a different forum The Wizard Of BC demonstrated how an experienced "eye" can tell much about a kilt's constructions, materials, and origin from a single pic.
To show a similar thing with pipers and pipes, I posted the following two photos. Each shows a set of pipes currently being sold on Ebay by people who don't know what they're selling.
For experienced pipers this is easy-peasy, but here goes anyhow. From the following pics deduce, for each pipe,
1) where it was made
2) who made it
3) when it was made
4) the materials used
5) the quality of tone and performance
6) approximate value
