Set of blackwood drones made by RG Lawrie in the 1950s/60s. Original imitation ivory mounts were knocked about and shrunken, so they were replaced with cocobolo by Burley Bagpipes. A very impressive looking set of drones and the sound has been refined by light reaming of the bass tuning chamber and enlarging the stock bores to 0.8 inch. These are in great condition, and currently reeded with Cannings for playing at 480 Hz just above the hemp line. The bag is a used and airtight medium Gore-Tex with zipper and grommets. No chanter, but an older Lawrie practice chanter is included. Full sound and a look that has received very favorable comments on the field and in the pubs. They will be shipped fully insured.
