Jon Swayne D Pipes

2024-10-17

Set of Swayne D pipes, just returned from refurbishment by Jon Swayne, including new bag and reeds.

There is a small cosmetic chip on the top decorative mount on the chanter, which Jon says no effect on the playing of the instrument and is only visible from the back.

Collection preferred, from Burton-on-the-Wolds near Loughborough, Leicestershire. But postage may be possible.

Askomandoura – Cretan bagpipe

2024-07-03

A rare opportunity to dive into the exhilarating world of tsambouna playing, with this Cretan askomandoura made by Antonis Stefanakis in 2013. I had every good intention of learning these, but time, sadly, had other ideas, so they need a better home. Ideal for beginner or seasoned player alike.

• twin chanters, with single reeds, can be played in unison (as is traditional in Crete), or to create harmonies
• eye-catching and stylish orange goatskin bag
• chanter binding replaced by Mike York, to allow easy access to the reeds
• wild, captivating sound
