Henderson, hallmarked 1926, silver and ivory
SOLD – This is one of the most stunning looking Hendersons to appear on this site, and their tone easily matches their appearance. The wood is African blackwood, mounted in ivory and Sterling silver with a gorgeous relief pattern. The silver hallmark dates the pipes to 1926.
All pieces are original except for the mouthpiece bulb, which is an imitation ivory replica. The original bulb is still with the pipes, though it is cracked.
The set is virtually pristine though hairline cracks in the bass top and bass stock have been invisibly whipped and are indeed invisible.
The pipes play like a dream and even the original chanter plays well, though close to Bb. If you’ve been waiting for THE set of Hendersons to come around, this is it!
