Selling on behalf of the maker:
Custom set of highland pipes made by Ross Morrill of Morrill Bagpipes here in Utah, USA. Drones are hand turned from select grade African Leadwood featuring beautiful Cocobolo mounts and drone bushes as well as figured hard maple ferrules, and drone top rings. Discreet combing and beading design featured on the drone profiles, but still allows the beautiful pattern of the wood to shine through. Custom matched blowpipe split stock with Moose Valve installed, but can be removed for cleaning. Blowpipe is brass lined to avoid cracking.
Bores are based from Ross’s signature “Hybrid Design.” Bass internals are from a 1909 set of Henderson’s with the Tenor internals from a pre-1900 set of David Glens. Literally the best of both worlds. The blend and harmonics coming off the drones blend seamlessly and lock in and don’t move. They work brilliantly with any modern drone reed combination.
