    Description

    I am selling my set of bellows-blown Scottish smallpipes made by Lochalsh Pipes in 2013. This is a four-drone (bass, baritone, tenor, alto) A and C combo set (the C chanter was made in 2017) with a wonderful sound. The pipes, including the two chanters, are made of holly from Scotland. The mounts are made of laburnum. In one of the photos, you can see a crack in the baritone drone's mount -- several years ago I dropped it on the floor (!). I glued the piece back on and the crack was just in the mount, not in the drone itself; there's no effect on the sound quality. The ferrules are brass (nicely aged) and the drones are lined with brass so there's no warping. The leather bag is airtight. This set comes complete with drone reeds and chanter reeds, as well as bellows made by Lochalsh.
    According to the Lochalsh site, brand new, this combo A/C four-drone set with two chanters would sell for 1,500 pounds.
