Our practice/student pipes are a mouth-blown version of our Scottish Small Pipes, the set comprises of Leather bag, ‘D’ chanter + ‘D’ drone with a plastic chanter and drone reed, Blowpipe, Plastic mouth piece and a Drone plug. These pipes make an ideal introduction for the beginner to the whole class of instruments that includes the Border Pipes, English Pipes and Scottish Small Pipes. They are also available bellows-blown.

We introduced this simple and competitively priced instrument into our range to encourage youngsters (and the not so young) to take up the pipes. The pipes can be played using Whistle, Highland or closed fingering. We offer a buy-back scheme for those wishing to upgrade to a full set of Deerness Pipes (see terms & conditions on the prices page).
