Lowland Border Pipes in A - Mouth Blown Scottish Reel Pipes

Description: Scottish Lowland Border Pipes by Hakam Din Handcrafted out of Black Shaded Indian Cocobolo Wood (Dalbergia Sissoo), a hardwood with excellent tonal qualities, high resistance against harsh weather conditions and requires relatively low maintenance so you can expect a hassle free experience for the foreseeable future. The set is adorned with beautiful Nickle ferrules.This set is tuned in the key of A, the conical bore chanter keeps a lot of the characteristic vibrant tone of the Highland pipes, but at a lower volume and can be played using the same fingering as the Highland PipesThere are three drones comprising of a bass, tenor and alto, set in a single stock, which can either be played over the shoulder or across the knee. The drones play the notes of A, A and E respectively, Drone Reeds are not includedThese Border Pipes are played as Mouth Blown, the advantage of the Mouth Blown Set over the Bellow Blown is easy transition for highland players to start playing these pipes.One way in which the Border pipes are more versatile than the Highland pipes or the Scottish small pipes, is that in addition to the standard scale, the chanters can give accurately pitched cross fingered accidentals. We developed a border pipe chanter which was fully chromatic by cross fingering, giving a good minor third, minor sixth, major seventh, sharp fourth, and minor second, without altering the standard fingering of the normal pipe scale.Please Note* The set includes everything you need to play this beautiful set of pipes aside from drone reeds which have to be bought separately from pipe dreams for ideal performance.
