For sale is a set of John Walsh Great Highland Bagpipes in African Blackwood. I am the original owner and bought them new in May 2013. I am selling them because I don’t have time to practice anymore. They are modeled on Hendersons. The blackwood was aged for a minimum of 5 years before the pipes were manufactured. Configuration is blackwood button mounts, nickel closed ferrules, nickel slides and nickel ringcaps. Blowpipe is original and is poly-lined blackwood.
