Bellows Blown Fred Morrison Reelpipes in “A” with Drone Switch (Includes Case!)

Katia de Peyer $ 91.53
Bellows Blown Fred Morrison Blackwood Reelpipes in "A"  The Reelpipes are simultaneously described as "bold" and "sweet." And those adjectives fit perfectly. The Reelpipes are full and loud, perfect for standing out in a Celtic music group. Despite their size, the Reelpipes are pitched higher than smaller smallpipes, and there's a wee alto drone that lifts the sound further. So, bold and sweet is pretty accurate. You may also hear the Reelpipes referred to as Border pipes, as they are designed in that style. You will love the comfortable padded bellows that come with this set and the way they respond to your arm movement. With the drone switch feature, you can bring the drones in when you like. The drone switch is especially helpful if this is your first bellows pipe. You can practice using the bellows with just the chanter, getting a feel for the the new technique and working on stability. The bellows system is dry and doesn't require any moisture control equipment. The bellows reelpipe is ready for for pub gathering or concert stage. And it comes with a pipe case!

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.
