A small background for these pipes:- I have played these Pipes for many years all over the World. They have served me extremely well, having helped me win and place in many solo competitions around Australia. I have also played them and been very successful in winning and placing with a few bands for competitions around the world, traveling throughout Australia, New Zealand and Scotland, from the early 1990s through to 2016. I also took them to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo where they performed beautifully every night of the Tattoo, with the tone/sound keeping stable with no issues what so ever.  Any purchaser of these Henderson's will be more than satisfied, with not only the price but the condition and most of all the sound. They have that true Henderson sound that is known for its brilliance in tone, throughout the entire piping world. Get in and buy these Henderson's quick as they don't come up very often and I promise you will be very happy with them.  The reason for the sale is just the fact that I have other sets of Pipes that I have started to play more and I haven't been able to play this set as much as Id like. I also need to fund a trip to Scotland so instead of letting them sit there Id prefer to sell them.  The Pipes come with a used L&M Scotian Pipe Bag, a used War-Mac Chanter, a new Gilmore Pipe Chanter Reed and a set of used Powertone Drone Reeds.
