Currently available in G and D these pipes have a range of 1 1/2 octaves and are chromatic for most of their range.
They are played using “half closed†fingering.
They can be mouth or bellows blown and fitted with 1-3 drones.
Plain sets are made from apple wood, sets with mounts are made from laburnum, other timbers are available on request.
The bags are made from hand sewn leather and all of the reeds and valves are synthetic.

I also make Flemish and medieval bagpipes.
The choice of timber and prices are the same as for my border pipes.BELLOWS £150FLUTES
At the moment I make three types:
SERIES 1
This was my first design, it features fairly small tone holes and has a pleasant woody tone.
Developed for ease of playing, this flute is popular with small handed players.
SERIES 2
Features a wider bore and larger tone holes typical of a “Pratten†flute.
A more strident tone, particularly on the lower notes.
SERIES R
This is a “warts and all†copy of a flute by Rudall and Rose C1830.
MATERIALS
African blackwood and boxwood are available as standard, other timbers subject to availability.
Tip rings can be made from brass, artificial ivory, boxwood or Sterling silver.
KEYWORK
My keywork is handmade by myself and can be tailored to a players specific needs.
I do not charge extra for left handed flutes.
Pillar mounted keys can be retro fitted to any of my flutes. Keys are silver plated, an option of gold plate is also available.
