Small Pipes

The Scottish smallpipes, although historically extant, essentially died out by the early 20th century in Scotland. In the early 1980s, Colin Ross and other makers developed a modern smallpipe that is internally derived from the Northumbrian smallpipe, but is played using GHB fingering. It became popular due to its attractive tone and is often a piper's second instrument.
