This seems to be a popular thread on other bagpipe forums so I thought I'd start one here:

I don't have a Sackpipa yet (but I am starting to whine to my wife about wanting one) Twisted Evil Here are my other pipes in the meantime.....

Uilleann Pipes: Drones/Regs - cocobolo and brass, drone stock - cherry, chanter - mopane/boxwood (made by Kirk Lynch)



Gaita Galega: cocobola/boxwood (made by Patricia Cela)

Excellent topic suggestion! It is sticky now.


My two mouthblown Swedish bagpipes, in heart formation. Both in E/A by Alban Faust. The one on the left is younger and the one I currently play. Cherry wood and rings in bubinga, I think. The older set to the right is in plum.


My bellows blown Swedish bagpipe, by Alban Faust. Mazur birch, reindeer horn and bubinga. Three drones and two chanters in D/G (in the bag) and E/A (on the side).

This is the E/A set I play. I made it from Mopane and Indian ebony.

Interesting Seth, my uilleann chanter is mopane too, but it looks more like the color of cocobolo now. Is the shade of mopane variable?

I'm not sure because this is the first time I've used mopane. Kirk may use a different type of finish or oil that causes it to be so dark. I buff with wax only. Seth
