Fred Morrison Bellows Smallpipes by McCallum – A/D Combination

Katia de Peyer $ 91.53
Fred Morrison Bellows Smallpipes by McCallum - A/D Combination Clever design makes this bellows smallpipe a very practical combination set. There are 4 drones that stay in the stock, with one plugged in each key. A small slide on one drone converts it from the D bass drone to the A baritone. (The video demonstrates this.) The combination set also includes 2 Blackwood pipe chanters, in A and D. The D chanter, while necessarily small, is relatively comfortable to play. Like other McCallum styles, the combo set has deluxe features, like a cane chanter reed, specialty Ezeedrone drone reeds, and premium bellows. The pipes are ornamented with engraved nickel and Mopani drone accents. The adapter that connects the pipes and the bellows is sturdy and thoughtfully designed. The bellows are made with top-quality materials and operate comfortably and efficiently. Made in Scotland.

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power.  A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976.  She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017.  Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
