Delrin Studio Pipes
|
|
|
 Made of durable delrin, small, light and portable. "O" rings are used throughout to provide ease of maintenance. Real Smallpipe sound for playing indoors, or along with other instruments. |
 The drones mount to a common stock, using our own miniature drone reeds. These can be stopped, by tapping the drone top for ease of tuning. They give a rich stable sound, and thread into the drone. The reeds are matched to the A440 or Bb, 466 chanters. |

Comment
Dear Roddy:
Just a quick note to let you know that I really am enjoying your new Studio
Pipes! As you know, I am very hard to please, and I've owned and been
disappointed in one way or another by just about every type of smallpipe or
practice pipe out there. But if I were stuck on desert island and were allowed
to have only one smallpipe with me, the Studio Pipes would be it. Simply put, I
just find them to be a real pleasure to play. They have a solid, robust sound --
not that practice-chanter-y sound that drives me nuts, and no weird buzzing or
tuning issues, yet quiet enough for late-night practice with light sleepers in
the house. Plus they are amazingly maintenance- and fuss-free: Pick them up
anytime, anywhere and they play beautifully. Truly, during the past 8 weeks or
so of my ownership, I have played them every day, at least once a day; that's
definitely a record for me.
Congratulations on this great innovation!
My best,
Thom Moore

Bagpipes Three Quarter Highland Pipes
 In Scotland it used to be common for small children to start playing on a 3/4 size bagpipe, (sometimes known as Reel Pipes) before they would try to wrestle with the full size Great Highland Pipe, similar to the idea of beginner violins and other instruments. This bagpipe has been designed to operate with regular sized synthetic drone & ordinary chanter reeds. The chanter bore is narrower & the finger holes smaller than a normal chanter, the volume is balanced to the smaller drones.The volume is slightly less than a full size GHB, and more appropriate for playing indoors & since this pipe uses less air than the full sized pipe, it can be used to lengthen practice sessions.The 3/4 pipe will pitch easily at B-flat(466hz), and with the appropriate chanter work at modern pitch, or with reed extenders can play at A 440 Hz. This flexibility means these pipes have a broad appeal, not just for children or beginners, but also for the advanced player wanting to play indoors or with other instruments.These pipes are available in Cocobolo wood for warm & rich tone. All sets will have aluminum or Imitation Ivory beaded ferrules and caps.Shown here fully beaded and combed $975-00 Plain, smooth turned $925-00 |
