Andrew's BagpipesTo create these images, I placed my pipes directly on my scanner so they are decent quality images, the interesting thing is the inclusion of a ruler for scale. |
The bass drone cap (left) is 1-13/16" across, the tenor drones are slightly smaller at 1-3/4". The outside diameter of the wood rings in the drone caps are 1-3/8" on the tenors and 1-7/16" on the bass. |
This is the upper section of the bass drone.

Lower section of the bass drone.
The grooves around the drones are tight groups of seven separated by a larger pair of grooves that are slightly wider apart. The slider's end is wrapped in black waxed hemp, if you're curious. (There's some distortion, due to the drone being diagonal on the scanner bed.) |
Bore measurements.
BASS drone
• Bottom section bore (measured at the top end) is 5/16".
• Middle section bore is about 3/8".
• Top section (chamber) bore is 9/16".
• The bush is 21/32".
TENOR drones
• Bottom section bore (measured at the top end) is 5/16".
• One bush is 19/32" the other is about a 1/64" bigger. (Yes, they are different.)
• Top section (chamber) bore is 5/8".
