Pastoral Pipes : 2 Regulator set 


 
The most complex set of Pastoral Pipes that have come across.

It features two regulators and is the only one I know of where a cut off switch for the drones is fitted. Unfortunately the mechanism appears to be incomplete and there is no obvious way as to how it was operated.

If anyone knows of a more complete set please let me know so that this page can be updated.
