Excellent Gig Bag
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 6:14 pm
Hi,
Just bought a superb gig bag for my Northumbrian pipes. I can fit in the chanter (17 key 'G') in its plastic protection tube and the bag and drones ( 4 drone set) in their plastic protection tube (a piece of drain pipe) although the bass drone tuning section needs to be taken off which takes about 2 seconds.
I was never happy lugging about the heavy pipe case I have been using for the last few years to sessions although the protection it offers is top notch. I just wanted something simple and light with a shoulder strap to use to transport my pipes to sessions and especially when on holiday. This gig bag fits the bill nicely. It will obviously take other types too depending on the size. It does take a half set of Uilleann pipes 'D' set and bellows as my good friend tried it out and has ordered one himself.
Anyway guys, if anyone is interested I bought mine from EBay: The item description is:
Unisex Retro Single Shoulder Cloth Backpack. Zipper Pockets Long Tote Canvas Bag.
The item number is: 231224461871
I paid £14.99 UK pounds ($ 25.55 USD) and that included postage from China.
