Bagpipe Restoration & Refurbishing Service

Lyons Bagpipes & Highland Supplies in partnership with David Macdonald are happy to offer a professional Bagpipe Restoration and Refurbishing Service.

Everything from a really professional re-hemping job, right through to the total inner and outer restoration of your bagpipe. Whether they are only a few years old or over 100 years old, each process will be meticulously and professionally completed to give a quality new and clean finish.

 

Refurbishing & Restoration

External Work

External Surface Combing & Beading Clean & Polish $595.00

This process involves each piece being placed on a lathe and the surface area being skimmed off to clean away any old varnish and to re-define the woodwork. The end result being an almost new looking set of bagpipes. The wood is then all finished with a natual wax to re-seal and protect it. This process brings the wood up to a brand new finish.

Mounts Cleaned (Silver or Ivory) $195.00

Each piece is placed on a lathe and polished to a near new look. Silverwork is highly polished, Ivory is lightly sanded to a new finish and polished. (We do not skim or clean orange catalin mounts)

Internal Work

Clean & Polish Bore & Reed Seats $295.00

Each bore is cleaned and polished. Tuning slide bores will be paralleled if they have become slightly tapered and reed seats will be cleaned and polished.

Repair Work

All bagpipe repairs quoted

Each repair job will be evaluated and quoted. We can perform repairs on most bagpipe pieces such as cracks and splits, broken pins, shortening blowpipes and many other jobs. Call Lyons Bagpipes or email David Macdonald to discuss.
