This iconic Robertson set displays all the classic Robertson traits, including the massive mushroom-shaped projecting mounts, square bells and robust, rich, steady sound.

The previous owner knew the history of these pipes and dated them to 1939, and the pattern of scribe lines on the ferrules would attest to 1930s manufacture.

The pipes are in superb condition with no replacement pieces or cracks, and the finish is original. The set comes with its original chanter.

Robertson is one of the most consistent makers I know of, both in terms of manufacturing standards and tone. They are easy to reed, and produce an exemplary tone with great chanter blend. If you’re looking for a classic full-ivory Robertson bagpipe, you won’t do better than this one.
