This is a set of bagpipes made by Chuck West of Bagpipesbycharles.com. From what I gather He didn’t make many sets, and even fewer in wood. He was associates with Jerry Gibson of Gibson Bagpipes. This set is made from an unknown lighter hard wood, I suspect Chechen. they have been lacquered black. The lacquer is beginning to crack and flake in some spots. The ferrules and caps are hand engraved copper. The bores are smooth and nice. They tuned a little low on the pins with the reeds I put in them but are fully playable. Bag looks like a synthetic leather. black and red cover and cords included. Ill include the original chanter of the lighter wood and a Polly chanter also made by Chuck. Can email a video on request. Shipping to be paid by buyer
