Ian Kinnear maker of scottish smallpipes

Scottish smallpipes are a bellows-blown bagpipe with a softer and more mellow sound than the better known Highland Bagpipe. They can be supplied in a range of keys to suit different types of music and instrumental line-ups, and provide the perfect accompaniment to fiddle, guitar, whistle, flute, banjo, mandolin etc. The volume is ideal for group work with other traditional acoustic instruments. They are well-suited to playing together in small harmony groups.
