My Uilleann Pipes
My Uilleann Pipes are the result of efficiently blending the latest 3D printing technologies with purely artisanal finishing and precise tuning work. My chanters and drones are primarily made from a composite material, consisting of a polymer material on one side and real wood shavings on the other. They also incorporate metal parts, with finishes and decorations (depending on the model) made from exotic woods or imitation ivory resins, all finished with natural waxes that provide a very well-achieved aesthetic and sound quality. Chanter reeds are made by hand from Arundo Donax.
Since 2015, when I started manufacturing Uilleann Pipes, my efforts have been focused on creating an instrument with a more than competitive price without sacrificing tuning, sound quality, and playability. Its price makes it a very attractive option for beginner pipers or those on a tight budget. Additionally, the full-keyed version of the chanter, with all keys, turns it into a fully chromatic instrument, which also makes it very appealing for professional pipers.
I genuinely hope that you are completely satisfied with your instrument.
