KEYED CHANTERS – Ian is happy to provide extended range chanters with traditional block mounted keys. All keys are hand forged from solid brass or Silver. Most common additional notes are High B and C natural on the A chanter and High E on the D chanter. I am happy to quote for any other requirements. Price of Keys is £75 each in brass or £90 each in silver.

DRONE SWITCH – Drone switches can be provided on all sets. A simple lever system as borrowed from UIlleann pipe design is most effective. Price is £75 in Brass or nickel plate or £95 in Silver.
BELLOWS – For the past couple of years Ian has been using a double skin for all bellows. This does away for the need for any seasoning. The inner skin has a synthetic seal on the leather and the outer skin is a more attractive dress leather. All sets are now fitted with vented valves which prevents the bellows inlet valve being blocked by loose clothing. I am now offering bellows pads as an optional extra at a cost of £30 per set.
Bellows are now fitted with an elbow pad as standard. When purchased separately, bellows are £220 per set.
REEDS – Chanter reeds £30 each. Cane drone reeds £45 per set.
BESPOKE HAND ENGRAVING – Personalised engraving on ferrules, presentation plaques etc. please enquire.
