I’m in my seventies and just don’t play these bagpipes much anymore, so I have a nice set of Dunbar pipes available. They are are made of Polypenco, which is very practical because it is not affected by moisture; it will not warp or crack. In the hands of a skilled player, it is hard to hear the difference between pipes made of Blackwood or Poly. The ferrules and projecting mounts were originally made of imitation ivory. I had them changed out so that all mounts and slides are nickel. The set comes with two Dunbar chanters, one with a plain sole and one with a nickel sole. The bag is a Ross ES. It is zippered, breathable has a suede-like feel. The moisture control system is a simple Bannatyne bottle water trap. The two tenor drones are Selbies and the bass drone is a Kinnaird. The bag cover is a royal blue with silver trim and the cord is red, but I have others available if interested: forest green with silver, maroon with silver, and black with red trim, as well as silver and maroon cords. Just let me know. The pipes will need to be re-hemped and, of course, you will need to use your own chanter reed. The cost excludes shipping.
