Pure Drop Purity Meter

This invaluable device, recently approved for civilian use by the central Trad Police Authority and Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, allows the user to definitively assess the relative traditional Irish purity of instruments, individual playing styles, sessions and even the tunes themselves. The device is easy-to-use and comes with a 300-page instruction manual in Gaelic. €650.00

Isle of Guernsey chess set

Believed to have been carved c. 1250, this set constitutes one of the few complete, surviving medieval traditional music chess sets. They reflect the widespread influence of Irish music even at this early date.

 

Discovered in 1831 on the Bailiwick of Guernsey by a drunken bouzouki player stumbling home from a session, they are owned and exhibited by the British Museum in London, which has 67 of the original pieces, and the Museum of Guernsey in Saint Peter Port, which has the remaining piece, a damaged pawn.

 

This magnificent reproduction is cast in durable poly-resin in molds made from the original pieces. €75.00

Not only is this rakish sessionwear-cum-watercraft dead sexy enough to make a Galway hooker blush, it’s perfect for crossing the pond for a transatlantic session, if the legends of Saint Brendan are to be believed. Might even fit on the head of a fiddle player. Makes a decent bivvy if you’re too drunk to make it home from the sesh.  €1150.00
