I’m downsizing my collection and offering this beautiful vintage set of Henderson’s Irish war pipes (Piob Mhór) with two drones. This is a unique and well-maintained set that blends historic craftsmanship with quality components.
The drones are original Peter Henderson’s, paired with an African Blackwood chanter made by Joe Hagan circa 1990. Joe Hagan trained and worked with several renowned pipe makers—including Henderson, R.G. Lawrie, J&R Glen, and Grainger & Campbell—before founding his own respected brand, Clan Bagpipes.
This set features:
African Blackwood Hagan chanter (c. 1990)
Original Peter Henderson’s drones (2 drones)
Hide bag with excellent air retention
Cane reeds included
Protective case
Condition:
The wood is in very good condition with no cracks or repairs. The pipes have been carefully maintained and oiled annually with sweet almond oil. The ivory tops show age-related cracking, which is purely cosmetic and does not affect tone or performance.
A wonderful opportunity to own a vintage set with character, history, and solid playing condition—ideal for collectors and players alike.
Price is negotiable
