"This set is a set of pipes made by a pipe maker named Walsh. They are called shuttle pipes. They are just a small version of the great highland pipes. They are great for practicing without the volume that the great highland pipes have. Here we have the chanter as I showed you with the highland pipes, which plays out your melody. This is the blow pipe same as on the great highland pipe and this is a little bit different this would be your drones. Here we only have two drones in the same piece of wood and this would be your bass drone and this would be your tenor and to tune the drones, you just slide these planks of wood, pieces of wood, up and down the slide and you can get them in the right key."
