These fall into the generic border pipe category, but the proper name is Northumbrian Half-long. This late 1990’s vintage African Blackwood set with bellows is fully playable, by maker Ray Sloan of Brittany, France. Concert pitch (A = 440 Hz). Supplied with new, padded, soft-sided case, and new Delrin plastic chanter made by Piper’s Choice, and 6 chanter reeds. Fitted with a comfortable leather bag, I am also including a new synthetic bag.
Why 2 chanters? Both are pitched in a 440, but I bought a second chanter as I did not like the older wooden one for concert tuning. Both chanters are conical border pipe chanters and reeded, each with 3 new reeds.
