Bagpipes

MacLellan offers a variety of materials for projecting mounts. All mounts are threaded onto the wood for a secure and lasting fit. Elephant ivory mounts are not listed here but can be found by following the Ivory link. All materials can be used for Button shaped mounts which are also threaded on and are priced the same as the full size projecting mounts.
 
Wood
Bocote is a hard wood from Mexico. Dark brown in color with fine grain and strong striped coloring. Ceylon Satinwood is strong with a fine grain and gives a rich color contrast with the dark woods used in the bagpipe. Light Cocobolo is a hard wood from Mexico and is more red with broader stripes that the Bocote. The light color provides an excellent contrast to the darker Cocobolo used for the bagpipes.

Sterling silver mounts are hollow spun and silver soldered in sections including the threaded inner sleeve. This construction makes them lightweight but very strong.
