Gibson bagpipes with plain-turned African Blackwood with button mounts, chalice tops and nickel ferrules. The drone bores are true and there are no dings or blemishes.
The plain turning, as opposed to combing and beading, allows the subtle luster of this timber to be revealed. The chanter is a Gibson poly with the GIBSON stamp. The extendable blowpipe and its split stock (with tube) are both poly. The drone reeds are Kinnaird Original CF and are nicely compatible with the drones. The pipes are set up with red silk cords and black velveteen cover with matching fringe.
Chanter reeds I’ve been happy with in the Gibson chanter are Shepherd, G1 Platinum and Melvin. Those are the only three that I’ve run in this chanter. One of them, a slightly played medium, will be included.
This bagpipe is in very good condition, and it was made, to the best of my knowledge, around 2015.
I prefer to ship only to North America and I use paypal.
