Bass Drone Stock / Blowpipe Blackwood Galician Bagpipe 170x35x35 mm

Overview Bass Drone Stock / Blowpipe Blackwood Galician Bagpipe 170x35x35 mm:

In Maderas Barber we have available all the necessary sizes to build your Galician bagpipe. Pieces of this size are used to build the Blowpipe of the bagpipe, the piece through which the piper blows and introduces the air into the bag, or for the stock of the bass drone, the part where this last part of the bagpipe is attached to the bag.

Blackwood is an extremely dense African wood, extremely dark in color with purplish-brown tones. With a fine, straight grain and often unnoticeable pores, it is very easy to obtain an extremely shiny piece without much effort. It has all the ideal mechanical qualities for wind instrument parts: hardness, resistance to humidity, ability to allow holes to be drilled to accommodate the keys, ease of turning... not to mention its spectacular and elegant appearance once it is finished. No wonder it is considered the queen of woods as far as instruments of the woodwind family are concerned.
