The Wallace Bagpipes Classic 1 set offers a refined balance of traditional craftsmanship and practical performance, making it an excellent choice for both developing and experienced pipers. Crafted from combed and beaded African Blackwood, this model delivers a classic aesthetic alongside the durability and tonal stability expected of a high-quality instrument.
This configuration features African Blackwood button mounts paired with plain nickel ferrules and plain nickel caps, creating a clean, understated appearance that reflects traditional Highland pipe design. Supplied with a poly pipe chanter, the Classic 1 provides reliable consistency and ease of maintenance, ideal for regular practice, band use, or performance.
The Classic 1 is also available fully assembled and ready to play for added convenience. This option includes a synthetic bag with zip and bottle trap, drone reeds, a bag cover with zip access and a non-slip patch, silk cords, and a poly pipe chanter with reed—allowing players to begin playing immediately with a complete, professionally prepared setup.
For those seeking a more personalised instrument, Wallace Bagpipes also offers the ability to build a custom configuration using their Bagpipe Builder. Blowpipe sizing is available to suit different player heights, ranging from 8" for younger or smaller players to 12" for players over 6ft tall, ensuring comfort and correct playing posture.
