| Vintage and complete set of Lawrie bagpipes…I’m pretty sure I am the second owner..They had been stored in the ohsc for about 50 years(since the original owners passing)…Total time capsule. I cleaned up and did 1 pass of polishing and wow these pipes look incredible!! No cracks— all original. I imagine there are few things this age in anywhere near this condition..The combing and beading on this set is also beautiful!! And the sound? Well I’ll post a link, but they sound fantastic..In the video I am running balance tone reeds but I can’t imagine what these would sound like with something better or even cane!! I’m also pitching on the original chanter at around 467 with a Melvin Reed. I’m guessing these pipes are from the 60s..You should expect there may be some minor knicks and dings here and there but I could not find anything worth really noting. I did 1 pass on polishing and a little more would make these things appear new! You can see some of the harder to get spots that just need some elbow grease to meet perfection. I would probably also just regent the entire set!! Comes with an airtight large hybrid bannatyne bag- which is missing the end of the zipper pull tab but can still be opened and close just fine! Also comes with the chanter cap, the original case, bag cover, drone cords, and all the sticks and stocks!!! Only thing you’ll need to furnish is reeds(both drone and chanter). Lovely set that needs to be in a home where they’ll be played and on display- rare find and all original! Ships professionally packed and fully insured— thanks!!
