Henderson, circa 1920, full ivory
This is a Henderson bagpipe from the 1920s with two major alterations and two minor ones. One tenor drone bottom is not a Henderon but a Lawrie in imitation ivory from the 1930s. The bottom joint is a modern replica with the original mounts. The Chanter stock, blowpipe and blowpipe stock are replacement pieces mounted in imitation ivory. The blowpipe and stock are polypenco-lined.
One odd feature about this set is that the two tenor top ferrules are quite different, yet the wood pieces are absolutely identical.
These pipes played very well for me with the robust, steady and seamless sound characteristic of Henderson bagpipes of this period.
The pipes are priced with the above-mentioned compromises in mind.
