The Folk Pipes have been designed by McCallum Bagpipes to play along with other instruments, allowing the piper to use a blowing and bag pressure technique as they would with the Highland pipes. The low A note on the chanter is tuned to concert pitch A (440Hz) which means that the pipes will naturally play in the keys used by other musicians when playing traditional/folk music. The pipes come set-up, ready to play with covers and cords, a synthetic bag, moisture control system, chanter reed and synthetic drone reeds.
A NOTE TO CUSTOMERS IN THE USA
Due to recent trade decisions of the current US administration, we are suspending all orders and shipping to the USA for the time being. Tariffs of 35% on all products coming from Canada make prices unreasonable for you and shipping difficult, time consuming, and ultimately unprofitable for us. We'll keep our eye on things and get back to supplying our friends and customers in the USA as soon as we are able.
