This Henderson set came to me with fantastic tone despite a couple  of compromises.  The bass mid-joint and blowpipe were Starck. The stocks were east Indian, but the ferrules were ivory. New stocks and a new bass piece were made by Dunbar Bagpipes (whose expertise is in Henderson bagpipes). Existing mounts were used, though an imitation ivory ferrule is on the new, poly-lined blackwood blowpipe stock. The Starck projecting mount was moved to the bass piece. A poly-lined blackwood blowpipe was made using the Starck projecting mount. 

The bagpipe was stripped, refinished and hemped. There were no cracks.

A previous owner added a touch of elegance with plain silver slides hallmarked 1994.

The set played beautifully from the moment I tuned them. Full, rich, seamless and steady, they are as good as any Henderson set I’ve had on the site.
