Shepherd Blackwood Smallpipes – Key of “A” or “D”

Shepherd Blackwood Smallpipes in "A" or "D"

Shepherd smallpipes feature Blackwood construction, reliable synthetic reeds, and traditional horizontal drones. The Blackwood chanter is a premium touch, and the pipes are accented with imitation ivory. The 3 drones--bass, baritone, and tenor--together create a warm, full sound. The volume is great for practice or performance, and the pipes blend very well in a Celtic group. Several pipers have played Shepherd smallpipes on their recordings. Made in Scotland.
