For over forty years, David Naill & Company Ltd. have delivered the exceptional tonal quality sought after by the world's top players. A great piper needs the right combination of training, experience, and ability, the same is true of bagpipe makers. David Naill set new standards of excellence and expectation in the way bagpipes are finished — from exquisite turning and bores, precise beading and combing, to the finest hand engraved metalwork from in-house silversmiths. From early on Les Cowell diligently sought input from champion players on what makes for the best-sounding instrument. And throughout the years since, his bagpipes have been the result of the marriage of unsurpassed craftsmanship with the master player's ear — bagpipes both equal in beauty and harmonics. The DN5 model comes in African black wood with hand engraved Sterling silver. The styling of this "half silver" set is the epitome of the classic bagpipe look. Everything about this set is top quality, and the hand-cut silver work is superb. All the hand engraved ferrules, slides, ring caps and mouthpiece tube, plus imitation ivory projecting mounts, make this set a bagpipe to cherish forever. We exclusively use .925 Sterling silver for this model. Complete with blackwood pipe chanter (sterling silver band). Includes a two-year warranty on all bagpipe parts. All of these add-ons are listed at reduced prices to get you started on the right foot. Anything you add-on will be assembled and tested by one of our expert pipers.
