Scottish smallpipes in C: Madagascan rosewood / box / brass with elm bellows
PRICE £626 + p & p
Scottish smallpipe 'D' set. 3 drones. Honduras / other rosewood / brass / artificial ivory.
The idea here was to adapt the adapt the appearance of John Dunn's smallpipes to the Scottish 'D' set, and to use Honduras rosewood, sought after in the past and near-unobtainable now. For the Northumbrian pipes it has been used successfully, not least by myself, in producing bright and harmonic sounds - Honduras rosewood emphasises upper frequencies in woodwind instruments and its harmonies make for a pleasant playing experience.
