SOLD – David Glen made bagpipes in Edinburgh from 1873 when his father Alexander died until his own passing in 1916. This is a classic David Glen button-mount bagpipe in Caribbean cocsuwood, with lovely ivory ferrules and rings. It is stamped on the top of the bass drone stock, “DAVID GLEN EDINBURGH”.

The set has been refinished at some time and is quite pristine. One ivory stock ferrule has a hairline crack that is quite stable.

These pipes sat on my shoulder light as a feather and hummed away in the usual, mellow Glen fashion:  slightly subdued, but rich and steady. A lovely bagpipe.
