Profiles suggest manufacture of this Lawrie set around 1940 or a little earlier.
The pipes came to me from Fife, where they had lain unplayed for some years. Stripping the finish revealed cracks in three drone stocks and one tenor top just above the ferrule. These have been sealed and invisible whipped and will cause no more trouble. The blowpipe looks like it came from a Henderson set and the combing and beading match well. The pipes were refinished and came out showing the beautiful African blackwood grain.
They came into tune quickly and held nicely with my Canning drone reeds. They retain characteristics of classic Lawries, with a robust sound and superb steadiness.
