Leather Bag is now the default, based on our growing experience with the extra stresses of the drone set, with black decorative cover and ivory fringe, all finished. Specify piper's build and size. Some adjustment of bag neck length and connecting air hose may be needed--supplies and instructions are included. For extra savings the vinyl bag is available and is probably better suited for easy reeds and more gentle useage duty. My personal half set has a 2-year-old vinyl.

Complete stand of Budget Concert Drones with full-function switch-valved budget mainstock.
Set includes matching black material for optional air hose decorative cover.

The Vinyl Bag

Vinyl bags have been used in recent years by many pipers owning traditional instruments, including myself. The bag I play every day for testing reeds, chanters and drones is a 2 year old vinyl. For heavy usage, or for the half sets with their increased weight and stress, leather bags are the better long-term choice.
