As mentioned before: we saw and held Jim's compact set even before he did himself. A beautiful set with a base-drone that goes straight into the mainstock and a reed that's sitting directly in the mainstock as well, protected by a brass cap.

The chanter in the background is said to be a hybrid chanter: the bottom ivory (made from a stranded whale's tooth) ring on the chanter (there must be a word for that) can be removed and an extension added to play the chanter off the knee.
