What's New     Introducing our New "Classic" Line Some people may recognize these pipes as Bowen Classics. We have been making these pipes for many years for Ron Bowen but now, with his permission, we have started to offer them to our customers under the name Dunbar "Classic". These bagpipes have our standard Dunbar bores but the outside profile is quite different. The profile is of an Edinburgh style, closely resembling old Glen bagpipes. Very sleek and much thinner than standard Dunbar's. The pictures above show a set with upgraded cocobolo projecting mounts which are cut bead. A Just Completed Set Made From Cocobolo These bagpipes are available in either Poly, Blackwood or Cocobolo with various options for the ferrules, rings & projecting mounts. Please contact me at rwp@dunbarbagpipes.com for pricing or if you have any questions. We are now able to offer machine engraved projecting mounts to go along with our ferrules, ring caps and slides. Aluminum mounts are available on our P4 and DB4 models. Imitation ivory mounts are available on any model which offers imitation ivory projecting mounts.
Engraved Imitation Ivory Dunbar Bagpipe's imitation ivory is a speciality made Delrin material, which is a very strong durable material. Due to this fact, we are now able to add machine engraving to our imitation ivory. Right now, only stock, bass and tenor ferrules are available but we plan on expanding it to include projecting mounts and ring caps as well. Most other makers use a very brittle cast polyester material (normally from GPS Agencies) which has a tendancy to chip and break very easily (we know because we replace these type of mounts all the time). There is no way that this brittle material would be able to withstand the process involved in engraving them.

We are pleased to announce that we are now also offering a "Military" style (see below) drone top. Many people like the style of our Chalice style tops but some do not so we decided to offer our least expensive bagpipe models in either styles. DB1 Blackwood bagpipes P1 Polypenco bagpipes
