Selbie Drone Reeds
The Selbie Drone Reeds are very efficient and steady. They sound just like a good set of cane drone reeds but without the bother of maintaining them.
Soft Sided Case for Smallpipes
The Soft Sided Smallpipes case is light and convenient. It makes transporting the smallpipes easy and safe.
Synthetic Pipe Bag Installation
An air tight pipe bag is crucial to having a steady and harmonious bagpipe. A bag that leaks makes playing the bagpipes almost impossible. Bill will ensure the bag he ties on is completely airtight. It will inspire you to play at a much more enjoyable and accomplished level.
Please Note: Stocks that have a thick sludge attached may incur an extra charge. Cleaning stocks with excessive build up of seasoning and sludge can take Bill up to an extra hour to apply the bag. This will usually incur an extra charge of $50.00. It is imperative for balanced and steady tone to ensure stocks are clean when inserting into the bag.

Twist – Trap Practice Pipes
Introducing Twist Trap Practice Pipes, a set of mouth-blown smallpipes incorporating a long practice chanter and two drones. They produce a softer more mellow tone in comparison to the Highland Bagpipes and pitch in the key of A (440Hz), a general tuning standard for many musical instruments. They are fun to play on their own or in a group setting along with other instruments.
A particularly innovative design aspect to the Twist-Trap Practice Pipes chanter top is the blow piece for moisture control. Moisture control is important for kids as they produce a lot more saliva than an adult when playing. This new moisture control design feature will become the standard top on the entire range of R. G. Hardie & Co plastic practice chanters.
“I have been playing a set and they are great fun, much better than practicing on a practice chanter,” said Alastair Dunn, Managing Director of R. G. Hardie & Co. “They will help beginners with the transition from chanter to pipes and understanding the importance of maintaining constant pressure when blowing.”
Yellow Waxed Hemp
Yellow waxed hemp does not fluctuate with different levels of moisture as non waxed hemp. It can last for years before having to re hemp your pipes.
Complete Bagpipe Refurbishment
Over the years we have completely refurbished sets of bagpipes to their former glory. It may be your great grand fathers bagpipe or a set you have owned for years. We can restore them back to their pristine, vintage condition. We prefer to rehabilitate parts through processes such as whipping so that an old vintage set of bagpipes remain intact as they were manufactured many years ago. We would be happy to give you an approximate quote on getting your bagpipes restored.
