The World of Bagpipes : Reconstructions

Great Bock

The pitch is an octave lower than most other forms, the compass being from f to g1 and is useful for a good solid bass sound both for solo work and with other instruments the enormous animal horns amplifying the sound, the drone sounds G1. 

Single reeds are used in both chanter and drone.

Developed in 1977 whilst experimenting with the
Phagotum it has become an interesting addition to my range. 

Go to "The Phagotum"

Go to "Syntagma Musicum"

Fruitwood with mounts, drone and chanter ends of horn. Option : carved chanter stock in the form of a goats head.
