GUARANTEE

Your new set of McCALLUM BAGPIPES is guaranteed for a period of ten years from the date of purchase, provided proof of purchase is available or, alternatively, ten years from the date of manufacture stamped on the bass mid-joint pin.

In the unlikely event of a manufacturing defect in your new set of McCALLUM BAGPIPES, it should be returned to:

McCALLUM BAGPIPES (for UK customers)

The original seller (for ALL customers outwith the UK)

Excluded from this guarantee are normal signs of wear and tear or damage caused by inappropriate use, and pipe bags. This guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights and does not effect them in anyway.

IMPORTANTFor this guarantee to be valid the bagpipe must be within ten years of the manufacturing date as stamped on the bass mid-joint pin, or alternatively, for bagpipes outside this period but within ten years since the date of purchase, proof of purchase is required.

All pipes supplied with a 10 year, no quibble, guarantee.

African Blackwood or Plastic • No carving required • Easy to reed Threaded reed seat • Comfortable to play • Good volume • Bright and stable

We put a thread on the reed seat of all chanters (except C4) which alleviates the problems of the reed coming loose, especially on the plastic chanter in dry conditions. This locks the reed in place until adjusted by the piper.

It’s also a much more accurate way of setting the chanter reed pitch.

You turn the reed clockwise to sink the reed and sharpen it, and the anti-clockwise to raise it and fl atten it.

The thread means the reed is locked in place – it can’t move unless the piper moves it.

C1 McCallum plastic pipe chanter

C2 McCallum blackwood pipe chanter

Our standard Pipe Chanter (C1, C2) is played by pipe bands worldwide, including many of the top Grade 1 bands. In addition, it is also played by many top soloists and has won almost every top piping award.

C3 McCallum McC2 plastic pipe chanter

C4 McCallum McC2 blackwood pipe chanter

Our McCallum Solo Chanter (known as McC²) was designed exclusively by Willie McCallum and has won almost every top award since 2007. It is played by many bands throughout the world and indeed, won the Grade 2 World Championship in 2008, played by Bagad Cap Caval.
