As the price of gold has gone up over the last few years the cost of gold plating has risen steeply also. We get a respectable coverage with a small amount of cobalt to make it more resistant to wear, and a very attractive "Orangy" shade of gold. This is top quality work, but we have had to adjust our charges to take account of the increased cost.

All pipes come fully tuned up and ready to play. Included in the above prices are bellows where appropriate, and velvet bag cover, but not cases or spare reeds. The above prices apply to any combination of main woods (Generally blackwood or mopane) and mounts (Boxwood, art. ivory and satin bloodwood). Other woods may be available and the price is likely to be similar. With some sets we can fit solid sterling silver ferrules which can be hand engraved, price on application.
Full Spec -our full spec for border pipes includes, a drone switch and a spare reed - this adds £115 to any of the pipes shown in Nickel, and £130 for any of the pipes in gold.
We fit metal ferrules to the drones on our smallpipes where the strength/weight ratio is more important because of the smaller size. On Border and Session pipes we generally only fit boxwood, satin bloodwood Mopane or art.ivory ferrules to the drones because we consider that this is more in keeping with the traditional style of the instrument.
