3/4 Size Highland Bagpipes

 

 The 3/4 set can be plain turned or Beaded and combed as above

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 is full sized, although the bore is narrower & the finger holes slightly smaller than a normal chanter.

In other words this is a real instrument, not a practice chanter with a bag. The volume is slightly less, 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), with some adjustment to reeds will work at modern pitch of 470 Hz, with reed extenders can play at A 440 hz. We have chanters available at all of these pitches. 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 beaded ferrules.
