Mc. Gillivray Piping Products Bagpipes Chanters Reeds and More Vintage Bagpipe Archive. Photos and descriptions of all instruments soldfrom the VintageRemarkable Pipes since October 2. Robertson, circa 1. SOLD  These Robertsons were purchased new sometime around 1. They are in superb condition. This set was owned by a gentleman whose wife owned a set of Robertsons as well with the same silver pattern. One of the sets was much older. At some point its possible that one or two of the stocks got switched around. The ferrule on one tenor stock is the same pattern, but much older, though the stock appears to be original. The bass stock is a Robertson, but with a tapered bore typical of older Robertsons. However, the ferrule on the bass is orignal to the set. Suffice to say that all parts are Robertson and the set suffers no tonal or visual ill effects from the inadvertant switch One unusual characteristic about this set and this may be more common than pipers think  while the set is not hallmarked, any piper would call this set silver and ivory. However, I had the silver professionally tested. Here are the results  Copper 6. Zinc 2. 2. 9. 5. Nickel 8. Silver  4. Strontium 2. It is absolutely lovely material, as the photos show, with just enough silver to give it the remarkable sheen and the softness to take hand engraving. Contemporary Political Ideologies Sargent Pdf Viewer. The pipes were refinished about 3 years ago and all of the mounts are in immaculate condition. The pipes play with typically bold Robertson timbre rich, steady and with a dominant bass sound. This is really a gorgeous and exceptional pipe, free of cracks or blemishes, though missing the original engraved mouthpiece and ivory bulb. Unknown ebony, circa pre 1. In case you havent noticed, we here at Lifehacker have spent the day gleefully reveling in fullblown Eclipse Madness. But now that the blessed event is behind us. Apple cider vinegar has been a multipurpose folk remedy for decades, touted as a disinfectant, a natural way to replenish skin and hair, and a superfood with all. SOLD  This is a really neat bagpipe. Tonally, it is one of the best instruments Ive had in my hands in some time. The sound is huge and room filling. When I put my own Ezeedrones into them and plugged the drones into my own stocks and with my own chanter, I tuned them and immediately played 4 minutes of 44 marches without the slightest wobble. They locked like they were digital but with life and boldness. They came to me as unknown, though educated guesses range, in order, from Henderson to early Lawrie to Donald Mac. Asp Report Maker Cracked RibPhee, the latter being Ron Bowens considered assessment. Certainly in the Glasgow tradition. The sticks are ebony and quite massive. The pipes are noticeably heavier than other such mounted pipes, confirming the amount of wood used, especially in the drone tops. The ferrules are quite distincive  a bit in the old Robertson tradition  and may well be later additions. The lovely old ebony shows sapwood here and there, adding to the visual character. Asp Report Maker Cracked' title='Asp Report Maker Cracked' />As with any 1. I take no chances and have all of these filled or whipped, whether they look threatening or not. This set needed no whipping. The two tenor stocks are quite noticeably different lengths. This is not uncommon among pre 1. Glen, though no one is quite sure why. The bass bottom joint is worn almost smooth. Asp Report Maker Cracked TongueBy maintaining an account on Whirlpool, you hereby agree to abide by these rules.

The set was stripped which is how we find the wee hairlines and refinished. The tuning chambers were reamed perfectly even. A first class set of pipes which may live out their lives unnamed. Henderson, circa 1. German silver and ivory. SOLD  This old Henderson set could pass for silver and ivory, but is in fact German silver, a high quality precursor to what we now call nickel. The wood is ebony. The pipes are beautifully made and the ivory is in excellent shape for its age, showing only a few spider lines here and there. The set underwent a major refurbishment with hairline cracks, particularly under ferrules, in several pieces. All were invisible whipped. Very few are visible except in one or two places where the browner shade of ebony couldnt be perfectly matched on the bead. Invisible whipping is foolproof. Those cracks will not reopen. Two of the five stocks are not originals. The drone stocks are all original, the chanter and blowstick stocks are replicas with the original mounts affixed. The ivory projecting mount on the blowstick was replaced with a matching Henderson mount. You would not know it isnt original. The set was refinished. The pipes display a fabulous, ebony Henderson tone, full but refined in a way only ebony can offer. The drones are steady, vibrant, full of blend, and tune in the right places. This pipe could be played at any level. Lawrie, circa 1. 90. SOLD This is one of the earliest silver and ivory Lawries weve had on the site in a long time. All of the pieces are original except for the blowpipe, which is a poly replica with internal valve and the original mount. The chanter is an old Hardie fitted with the original engraved silver sole. The blowpipe bulb is modern polypenco, and the sleeve is engraved nickel. The blowpipe mount has aged more than the rest of the ivory, but does appear to be original. I suspect an owner at some point used a different blowpipe and stored the original in a damp place. One lower projecting mount has a rice grain sized chip. The set was dated by the previous owner, and external evidence and profiles support a date that could indeed be as early as 1. As with any 1. 00 year old ebony, there were three or four hairline crack on the outside of the wood. None threatened any of the pieces, but I prefer to have all of these sealed or invisible whipped as required. No whipping was needed on this set. It should be noted that this style of Lawrie bagpipe with engraved, tapered, metal ferrules, are usually called silver and ivory. In fact, the silver is plating only. But Lawrie executed the best plating Ive ever seen. Even after years of terrible tarnishing on the mountes of an unplayed pipes, these buff up to a gorgeous sheen. The drones are a tonal masterpiece big, bold and steady. This is a prize set. Robertson, hallmarked 1. SOLD  This is an absolutely lovely Robertson set made in Edinburgh in silver and ivory, hallmarked 1. They are in beatiful shape with a gorgeous thistle silver pattern. The ivory is immaculate. The blowstick is a delrin replacement, though the ivory mount and thistle sleeve are original. The ivory bulb may or may not be original. The pipes come with the original Robertson chanter and silver sole. Its not the kind of chanter one would play, as modern reeds dont suit it, but its nice to have the original piece and the silver sole can be put onto another chanter. The set required only polishing on the lathe, shortening of the blowstick, and a gentle reaming of the tuning chambers to even up the tuning action again. The tone is as typically Robertson as the appearance big, bold, and very steady. One thing to note is that the stocks are tapered, which Robertson did frequently before the mid 1. This means that if you employ a moisture control system with these pipes, it it will need to be a suction cup type rather than a stock insertion type as the latter will just fall out. The pipes also come with a Certificate of Authenticity and Opinion of Value done by Ron Bowen in 2. Henderson, circa 1. Brazillian kingwood, nickel, ivory. SOLD  This is a slightly unusual Henderson set. It appears to be a mixture of cocuswood and Brazillian kingwood. This was not an uncommon Henderson configuration in the 1. The ferrules are nickel, and the mounts and caps are ivory. This is a tonally superb set, with a sweetness to the Henderson sound that is different from the more robust blackwood.
