Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags with Swan Neck

Katia de Peyer $ 19.80
Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags These sheepskin bags are handmade in Scotland by James Begg, a well-known bag maker with decades of experience. Sheepskin bags provide excellent natural moisture control for pipers who play regularly. The bags absorb moisture when played and then dry overnight. This natural feature can eliminate the need for any additional moisture control products.  In hot, dry climates where it is desirable for a bag to retain moisture, a hide bag might be a better choice, but in moderate and moist climates, the inherent properties of sheepskin make it an exceptional pipe bag material. For sheepskin bags to remain airtight, they must be seasoned regularly. Features of Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags: Swan neck for comfortable chanter position Longevity of 1-2 years Comfortable, balanced feel Excellent natural moisture control Made from select sheep skins No holes for custom cut and tie-in Hanging loop for seasoning All hand made and hand stitched Minimum 6 hours work put into each pipe bag Available in 4 sizes: Small, Standard, Medium, Large - Standard is the most popular Remember that Sheepskin Bags: are challening to tie in and should be marked, cut and tied in by someone with experience are not suited to arid climates need to be seasoned in order to remain airtight (more often than a hide bag) should be used by pipers who play often and regularly have a relatively short lifespan

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.
