Henderson, circa 1920-1930, ebony, full ivory
This old Henderson set is in prime shape. All pieces are original, with no cracks or repairs. It looks like one tenor bushing has been replaced with celluloid. The ivory shows some minor staining here and there, but is undamaged but for one small nick in the chanter stock ferrule.
The set is ebony, the tuning slides are perfectly even and the set is really primo vintage Henderson.
The pipes were purchased from Jim McIntosh in the early 1980s as a circa 1920-1930 set. They were purchased from this site a few years ago and have come back from a player who has decided to downsize his collection. This is the original listing, but the pipes are exactly ths same. I don’t believe they were played much.
The wood was refinished when the pipes were first offered here.
