The Genuine Scottish Practice Bagpipes

Made in Edinburgh, Scotland, these are the genuine practice bagpipes used by those who endeavor to conquer the complexities of the Great Highland Bagpipes. Similar in size to a set of "smallpipes" used by advanced players as a second instrument, this practice set produces high-quality sound yet requires only a fraction of the "puff"--the amount of air produced by accomplished players--needed to fill the bag with a steady volume of air. The pipes are easy to play for beginners yet reinforce lessons learned from playing a practice chanter, encouraging further study and building confidence. Made by a craftsman with 30 years of experience, the set includes a plastic chanter with plastic reed, two brass drones (one bass, one tenor) that can be adjusted to alter the pitch, an instructional DVD, an instruction manual, a nylon bag, and a plaid bag cover. 24" L x 9" H x 4" W. (1 lb.)
