I have recently completed a set of Northumbrian smallpipes in D. The
person they were being made for has been hit by the economy and can no
longer purchase them. The pipes have an 8 key chanter (the basic 7 plus
the key which is a whole step below the thumb hole, which is a C natural
on a D chanter), are made of ziricote wood, brass metalwork, and water
buffalo horn mounts, with a cherry wood bellows and a great professional
quality case. The set is very sweet toned. Not being in blackwood, the
set will not appeal to all, but some folks will go crazy for it.
Ziricote is very dark brown with black spider web-like black lines. I
will be completing some detailed photos this weekend. If interested,
please inquire. Thanks.
