These are a small bellows-blown bagpipe with a sweet, mellow tone. They are available in simple or more complicated forms. A popular option is an instrument with a 7-keyed chanter and four drones. All sets are normally made in African Blackwood. Suitable alternative woods may be used on request, subject to availability.
All sets have drone stops operated by plungers.
Mounts can be artificial ivory, or boxwood. Metalwork is brass. Keys are hand-forged, and the springs are made from nickel silver. The overall design of the sets is attractive but without elaborate decoration. Nickel plating is available at extra cost, except on the fully mounted sets, where it is included in the price.
