The World's Finest BagpipesYour bagpipes are a precision quality instrument and an example of RG Hardie & Co’s unrivalled craftsmanship. This is an heirloom product made from the finest of materials with the care and respect that such a fine instrument requires, it will pass through generations. The bagpipes are made from the finest materials and in common with many of the worlds finest woodwind instruments African Blackwood is the material of choice for the base material. African Blackwood has proven properties associated with its density along with being a hardwood it lends itself to the control and transmission of fine sound. At Hardies we pride ourselves on the quality control of our wood and the extensive seasoning which it always undergoes before even being considered for production. Because we are dealing with a natural material which is subject to climatic changes of temperature and humidity there will be variations over time which you will come to recognise and which we can help you control. |
