The Ross bag has a suede-like, red exterior that offers good grip and, plus vibrance and harmonics. It's heavier than most synthetic bags, but lighter than hybrids. The bag requires no seasoning and is virtually maintenance free. Plus, it's more hygienic and has a longer lifespan than most hide bags. The zipper is easier to pull and requires only a dab of lubricant at the end. The zipper is angled for minimum contact with your arm.

Installation Tip:  Over-tightening the clamp can damage the chanter stock.

The Shepherd Orchestral Pipe Chanter is pitched at 466 Hz, concert pitch Bb. This is the older traditional pitch of the bagpipe. The lower pitched chanter allows the bagpipe to be played with other instruments in the key of Bb. The orchestral chanter has been on the market since 2006. You may need drone reed extenders or low-pitch drone reeds to bring the drones in line with the chanter.

Shepherd chanters have an established history with award-winning bands and solo pipers.  This is the classic version of the Shepherd Blackwood pipe chanter.  Shepherd chanters are made in Scotland by RT Shepherd and Son.

This padded drum bag offers an extra layer of protection, helping to prevent scuffs and scrapes. Two handles make maneuvering the drum easier. The case accommodates all 28 x 12, 28 x 14, and 28 x 16 drum styles we offer from Andante, Pearl, and Premier. Tuxedo bags are made by Humes & Berg.

Gold Wool Necktie The Gold tie gives a distinctive look and works with tartans with gold tones. Neckties are part of the Highlander Collection from Lochcarron of Scotland. These look great when worn by pipers and pipe bands with an Argyle jacket and/or a 5 button vest.
