McCallum Blackwood Folk Pipes - Smallpipes in the Key of "A" Blackwood Folk Pipes look and sound beautiful, with wood and metal mounts, and a premium setup. The Blackwood adds warmth and depth to the already enjoyable Folk Pipe sound, which results from experienced engineering, a cane chanter reed, and quality synthetic drone reeds. The pipe bag has a zipper, allowing easy access to the complete moisture control system and drone valves inside. The pipes come with a tailored black cover and matching drone cords. These pipes do require more gentle treatment than the Poly version because the drones are slender and wood. Made in Scotland.   Features of the McCallum Blackwood Folk Pipes: Blackwood drones and blowpipe Mopani and alloy mounts Poly stocks Poly chanter Key of "A" Deluxe cane chanter reed for smallpipes* Specialty Ezeedrone drone reeds Synthetic zippered pipe bag Bag cover as supplied by McCallum Silk drone cords as supplied by McCallum Chanter reed protector Drone valves Complete moisture control system *Note: The cane chanter reed is delicate, and there is not much clearance in the chanter stock.

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.
