Highland Bagpipe - Vintage Series (V-02)

Reproduction of a Vintage Bagpipe from the 1930s - 1940s Era  

This bagpipe is a reproduction of a set Hakam Din made by around the 1930s - 1940s and is now part of our Vintage Reproduction series.

Made of Indian Cocobolo wood (Dalbergia sisso), these pipes offer a warm tone, are low maintenance and are artificially shaded black with nickel ferrules.

This model was originally played by a Pipe Major who competed successfully in numerous solo and Grade 1 pipe band events with the Lothian and Borders Police Pipe Band. They were also featured at several prestigious engagements, including royal functions, the Edinburgh Tattoo, and the Toronto Intercontinental Tattoo. In 2015, the original owner approached us to restore the set; as restoration was not possible, we instead reproduced the model to preserve its legacy.

The drones and chanter are tuned to A at 466.16 Hz (Concert B♭), faithfully replicating the tuning standard that was common during the era these pipes were originally designed.

The airbag incorporated in this set features a durable synthetic material with convenient medium dimensions measuring 28 inches in length and 12 inches in height.

This set also includes a pipe chanter reed, an black pipe bag cover and matching cord along with a beginner's guide book, all conveniently packaged in a carrying bag. 

Please note that it comes with a set of a basic and affordable drone reeds, but for a perfect and hassle-free experience, we recommend purchasing Ezeedrone reeds separately from Scottish renowned drone reed makers, Pipe Dreams. (More info provided on that after purchase)
