This is a beautiful 4 drone set of border pipes made by Nate Banton in 2011-12 (before he started working with Will Woodson). They are in excellent condition with no issues. Nate did a total tune up in 2024 including all new drone reeds ( both he and Will worked on these), new chanter reeds for both the A and D chanters as well as a new hide bag. They are great to play and in excellent condition. The only thing needed is a new hose between the bellows and the bag. Extra drone and chanter reeds are included.
