-SCOTTISH SMALLPIPES-
May 2008- I'm working on a new combo set. A/C/D - It will have three chanters, and four drones: A , C/D/E*, a/g, c/d.
*the C/D/E drone will have a tuning bead to enable it to play the three notes (one at a time of course).
-New Integrated drone shut-off ends available. Much like on northumbrian pipes, each of my drones can be switched on or off with a plunger at the end of each drone. However, with mine the drone mount itself moves. The only evidence (when switched off) of the mechanism is a small set screw set in the drone mount. Email me for pricing and info. (not standard on each set)

-BORDER PIPES-
February 2008- I've decided to make a few more options available for Border Pipes:
-Drone Switch. Like uilleann pipe sets, this key switches all of the drones on or off.
-Baritone drone: While the alto drone is a distinctive sound that I enjoy for its subtlety, it it not for everyone. I am making a baritone drone available for those who wish it. It gives more punch for those tunes in A.
-Switch for just the baritone drone (on side of drone) also available. If for some reason, someone wanted one of these switches on another drone, I can do that too.
-Keywork. High B key. Low F# key. Low G# key (Please enquire about prices and set-up)
