NB Apologies to previous bidders as I have had to re list this item due to an error in my previous listing in so much as no reserve price appeared. Ebay accept it was a listing error.TWEEDIE / INVERAN HOUSE BAGPIPESJim Tweedie was credited with developing the ‘polished bore’ technique for making drones when he was a turner with both MacPherson and Sinclair in Edinburgh in the 1950s. He played a major role, along with William Sinclair and Harry McNulty, in developing the highly successful Sinclair chanter.Tweedie went on to create his own pipe making business in the 1970s and, though he made relatively few sets of pipes, his instruments were considered state of the art.Through his business, Jimmy Tweedie passed on his knowledge and techniques to several apprentices, including Craig Scott and Brian Donaldson. It was Scott who took over Tweedie’s in the late 1980s when his mentor retired, and who brought Donaldson into the business in recent years.A meticulous craftsman, Tweedie’s drones were known for being made of blackwood that was ‘seasoned’ for no fewer than eight years. Tweedie refused to rush his product, no matter how great the demand for his pipes.My PipesThis set of pipes were made for me by Craig SCOTT in 1995. I played them regularly in competitions in England and Scotland for many years. However, due to ill health I have had the pipes stored in my loft for a number of years. I now feel it is time to pass them on in order someone else can experience the sound and quality of this instrument.This is a high end quality instrument and I have set an appropriate reserve which is fair and realistic.The mounts are real and not plastic - If in doubt please email me for clarificationHand-engraved sterling silver ferrulesHand-engraved sterling silver slidesHand-engraved sterling silver ring capsHand-engraved sterling silver chanter soleThis complete set includes:Inveran African black wood chanter with engraved silver sole (Played at Glazier Hall - Great sound)oss Zipper pipe bag reedsvelvet pipe bag cover with fringePlain silk cordsFlight Case
