The Small pipes differ from Highland and Chamber mainly in that they are played in a different key - the normal choices being A, B flat, or D. These pipes produce a very mellow, haunting sound and, again, are for indoor use.
The three drones - a bass, a tenor, and a baritone - are small in size and fit into one universal stock. They are fitted with a small, synthetic bannatyne bag, which is maintenance free.

Often played with a variety of other instruments, these have increased greatly in popularity in recent years. Air is pumped to a small synthetic bag by means of an arm operated bellow, but we can also make the Small pipes mouth-blown if preferred.
Each set comes fully reeded, with a choice of colour for the bag cover. When ordering, please state which key and blowing technique you prefer.
