For sale:
Set of post war (1940’s) era Robertson bagpipes.
Blackwood drones, with casein mounts, ferrules and drone caps. These drones were restored in 2025 by Burley Bagpipe Company. The casein was in rough shape when received and was stabilized instead of replaced. Casein has many detractors, but once repaired and kept oiled will last another century. All casein and wood cracks were repaired, parts were stripped and oiled, and bores checked and cleaned.
The chanter stock is new with an arvorin ferrule, and the blowpipe was brass lined for moisture resistance. The original chanter is like new and with the drones would be a good match for pipers competent with reed manipulation, but don’t expect a modern pitch. Bores are straight and true. Overall good condition and at a great price point for a premier maker such as these.
This era of Robertson pipes will rank among the best for balanced tone and volume. Perfect set for an enthusiastic piper looking for a premier maker, tonal brilliance for band or solo, and a fantastic character of history.
