I am loving Henderson's!!!!!! I was dealing with Katie on my order. She was really friendly, and helpful. My pipes came well tuned, and ready to go out of the box. I ordered the very basic McCallum pipes. I have had Dunbars since 1997, and these are way better! Thanks to the person that set them up. The included Henderson sticker went right on my hardhat. I'm a union Ironworker.
I hope I will be able to buy soon. My first clarinet was poly. great for being a rough and tumble kid. I bought my first African blackwood clarinet in college. I use the poly outside, blackeood inside. Will probably buy a set of poly pipes to learn on as well.
Played David Naiel pipes in the in early 80s imported by a fella named Mc McPherson. My pipe major Richard Longstaff owned a set of Henderson pipes he purchased from his teacher who had fought in the boer war. The pipes were top shelf! Silver and real ivory trimmed. They were heavy!! Richard liked the naiel pipes and felt the chanter was very good. Those Hendersons were later sold to Richard's best student jamie...who played world over. Nothing ever matched the sweet tone of those boer War hendersons...later I purchased a set of Dunbar poly pipes ancient model. Never could really get them going...sold them to a fella in Oregon...he loved them!
Is there any difference is care and maintenance between wood and poly pipes? I'm considering ploy as my first set as I hear they stand up to temp and humidity fluctuations better but would like a video of care of poly pipes. As in plastic shouldn't need to be oiled, right?
So far out of all of the bagpipes that I have heard, the only really one that I have noticed a difference in the drones are a set of nail bagpipes. My teacher has a set of those in his drones sounded very different from everybody else in the band. It seems to me that all the pipe chanters sound the same. So if they all sound the same, how do you know which bagpipes or to choose? They all sound the same to me. Any advice as to good comparison videos I could look at?

How much is a beginner set?
My Shepherd pipes have worked great for 18 years so far. But I've definitely thought about getting a poly set for bad weather conditions.
Is there any difference in intonation between the bagpipes?
