Henderson, circa 1915, ebony, nickel, casein
SOLD – We have a few great Hendersons on the site right now, and this is another. Likely made before 1920, it is ebony with wood projecting mounts, nickel ferrules and casein ring caps. This means the bagpipe is free of ivory: rare for an old Henderson.
The blowpipe and blowpipe stock have both been fitted with brass linings, though there is not a hint of a crack in either piece. The cord guides are stamped ‘P. Henderson, Glasgow’.
The set is in really excellent shape. Played like an ebony Henderson: full but not booming, rich and steady with a nice, full bass.
