736.0. "looking for "Pipes"" by COGITO::BARRY () Fri Mar 30 1990 16:55

    
     Hello from New Hampshire
    
     I am looking for the name and address of an Irish Ullian pipe (spelling ?)
    maker; in Ireland or US.  When I visited Ireland last May, I found one
    in the town of Dingle, but I have lost the name and address.
    I understand that there are a number of them in Ireland as well as
    the US.
    
    Would anyone out there have a set of these pipes ...to sell...in any
    condition ..... bits and pieces......

    I know of a guy in Kenmare who used to make pipes at one stage. I don't
    actually have his name but if you contact Bord Failte and ask them. The
    only extra information I can offer you is that this guy is french. That
    should help narrow down the list.
    As an option see if you can get someone in Galway to check the Golden
    Pages in Ireland under instrument makers. The guys name should stand
    out.
    
    ps The guy is apparently quite a good pipe maker.
