I’ve made the decision to downsize my collection and I’m offering this vintage 1960s R.G. Hardie Great Highland Bagpipe to a new home.
This is a well-cared-for instrument with beautiful catalin mounts, strong playing potential and solid overall condition for its age.
Condition & Details:
Hide bag with good air retention
R.G. Hardie chanter included
Small crack on the sole that appears to have been professionally repaired by previous owner (please refer to photos). Repair is stable and does not affect playability. Chanter wood is otherwise in excellent condition with no additional cracks
All bagpipe wooden components are free of cracks or repairs with the exception of one small chip on a drone top (please refer to photos)
Pipes have been regularly maintained and oiled annually with sweet almond oil
One projecting mount shows surface crack lines, which are stable and purely cosmetic
Additional Information:
Includes carrying case (shows wear consistent with age but remains fully functional)
No reeds included
Instrument will be fully insured at no additional cost to the buyer
This is a great opportunity to own a vintage R.G. Hardie set that has been properly maintained and remains a reliable instrument.
Serious buyers only—please, no low offers.
