Arundo Donax grown in Scotland!

I picked this cane earlier this year which was un-naturally growing naturally near a loch in Scotland. I was quite surprised to see it standing there, this piece just happened to fall off into my hands. Maybe I'll get a drone reed out of it.

A Tayloresque-ish Chanter

A Chanter made in a different style to that which I usually make.

Quarter set

Well for lack of a better name I'll call it a quarter set, it is a practice set with a tenor drone.
Ebony, brass, imitation ivory chanter;  rosewood brass, imit. ivory drone, bag and bellows.
D pitch. My wife says the curly drone is cute, but then, she thinks pugs are cute and she married me too :)

Only one in stock  see www.kmbagpipes.com/hotstuff.html

Welcome to my New Blog

Well I'm really moving with the times now, blogging for the first time.
Just been working on a set of rosewood drones in D.
Still under construction, brass drone slide ferrules still to be polished and fitted, wood not finished but here is a photo .
