Fred Morrison Scottish Smallpipes in Key of A – A Precision Instrument with a Beautiful Sound
The Fred Morrison Scottish Smallpipes are a beautifully crafted precision musical instrument with outstanding sound quality. They produce a softer, mellower, and sweeter tone than Highland bagpipes, making them ideal for playing at home or in group settings where volume might be a concern.
The fingering technique is identical to that of the Highland pipes, making these smallpipes a popular choice for Highland pipers who wish to expand their musical repertoire and explore new piping styles.

Mouth-Blown vs. Bellows-Blown – Which One to Choose?
This smallpipe set is available in two versions:
- Mouth-blown: Equipped with a Blackwood blowpipe and alloy mouthpiece, allowing for direct air input through blowing. Supplied with a **Zipper Bag** for easy maintenance and a **Moisture Control System** to help keep the reeds in optimal condition.
- Bellows-blown: Comes with a luxury hand-made bellows, crafted with premium materials for a steady airflow and enhanced comfort. The ergonomic design ensures effortless operation, reducing moisture build-up and prolonging reed life.
Both versions provide the same warm and resonant sound – the choice depends on your playing preference.
