Black Rosewood Pipes A stand of Paki-Rosewoods can usually be found on eBay for about $100 - $150.00 US. They'll come with 1 or 2 complete sets of cane reeds, 4 rubber stoppers for your stocks, sometimes a bottle of bag seasoning, and a spool of hemp. This stand has been modified cnsiderably from stock. On the outside, I changed to an African Blackwood Chanter, added an AirStream blowpipe, made a black crushed velvet bag cover and some 4" red tassles for the cord. It's not obvious from the picture, but the open end of the bag cover uses the same 4" red fringe. I then gave the stocks and drone sections about a dozen coats of black lacquer. On the inside, I added Ross Omega drone reeds, and a Soutar Chanter reed. One of the first things I did though, which I recommend, was to replace the cotton tie-in string with nylon cord... Wrap the tie-ins with self-fusing rubber tape, and reseason the bag. BACK
