Here's an old bagpipe that's got me a bit stumped. I want to say "old Lawrie" however there are a number
of features that won't let me. So was this an early knock-off of Lawrie's short ferrule style or did
Lawrie "borrow" that from someone else? If only they could talk! This bagpipe belongs to Bill Hunter
who I met while doing a workshop in Atlanta. Bill was kind enough to let me take a few pictures.

I figure the age to be pre-WWI. One could easily say "Lawrie" however when you put it side-by-side
with other old Lawrie bagpipes from that era there are some real significant differences. I wish I'd
have brought my calipers on that trip!
