I acquired a set of Northumbrian pipes from my Uilleann pipe tutor several years ago.
It has a boxwood stock with four drones also of boxwood with tuneable beads with a blackwood nine key chanter. The stock has a makers stamp which is heart shaped with an oblique line descending from left to right through the heart. I was told that the maker was a chap called Mick Wilkins who was Bradford based but I've drawn a blank when trying to find out more about him. I also want to have the pipes renovated to make them playable are there any renovators near Leeds, UK? Thanks in anticipation.
