These are the pipes I play every day, old Lawries. They are ebony mounted in ivory and German Silver.
Just yesterday I was looking at the old Lawrie sets seen on Ringo Bowen's site, and inspired by the clear photos, I decided to take some shots like those. I'm going to send these pics to Ringo for him to use if he wants.
In looking over the old Lawries that Ringo shows, I think mine most resemble a couple of the sets on his 1900-1920 group. What do you think?
Here's Ringo's Bagpipe Place Museum page on 1900-1920 Lawries

and here are my pipes
I think my pipes look a lot like a couple of Ringo's sets, these two in particular; first here's my pipes
and now one of the sets Ringo shows
and another set; this one has the beading arrangement on the tenor tops very much like my set
