Prices

All work is entirely handcrafted, with hand forged keys and hand rolled metalwork; tapered ferrules; tapered mount bores; reamed chanter caps to give the reed a little more room and provide a better seat for the swan neck; hammered crowns on bends; French polished sycamore stocks; other time-consuming but worthwhile things . . . .

Swan neck size can be specified for chanters, though we prefer them to be as large as possible to replicate direct tying in to the bag, brass fronted stocks are available.  The drone and regulator prices are for single mounts - up to 5 mounted drones are available. 

Orders are worked through in strict rotation, waiting times are for guidance only I'm afraid - although usually pretty accurate.

Woods available are lignum vitae, palosanto, Madagascan ebony, Indian ebony, partridge wood, some English damson and English box.  If there is a particular other wood you would like, we would do our best to source it for you if I agree it's a reasonable choice. Mounts are English box, or other suitable timber; I also have some buffalo horn (dark in colour) and also am willing to use moose antler.  Imitation ivory/horn etc is also available.  We usually use brass, but will gladly use sterling silver for special orders.

I will make hand stitched, mahogany, balsa-inlaid bellows if required at £350, but also stock bellows and bags by Laurence Thompson. Prices are excluding bag and bellows which work out at around £300 from Laurence "amazingly airtight" Thompson.
