I'm looking for a set of mouthblown SSP with three separate drones, like the GHB have.
I'm considering McCallum Folk Pipes and Gibson Firesides. I'd prefer poly. Does anyone know of another maker that makes this configuration of SSP? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

YES! Thank you for posting that link. I somehow overlooked that one in all of my research!
That't the configuration I'm after. I can't seem to find a review, or any videos to hear the sound of the Piper's Choice Concert Pipe. I'm leaning toward McCallum folk pipes in poly. The poly is because I plan to use them in harsher weather conditions and don't want to worry about the wood. Anyone know of another option of over the shoulder smallpipes, or have experience with any of these three? |

That's my favourite configuration too: mouthblown with drones in separate stocks.
All the major Highland pipemakers (Henderson, Glen, etc) used to make them, in the 19th century price-lists they were called "miniature Highland pipes or chamber pipes". Here's a related discussion http://forums.bobdunsire.com/forums/...d.php?t=151889 I went the vintage route. I play a c1900 set of cocus & ivory pipes which sound great. I bought them off Ebay a few years ago for $200. (That was the starting bid and nobody else bid on them.) You could maybe look around, you might find a set. Another one sold recently on Ebay. I got John Walsh to make a blackwood chanter in A=440 for the set. ![]() (Still has the original horn mouthpiece.) ![]()
