Gibson Cocobolo Fireside Pipes in B Flat The Firesides are our top-selling smallpipes and have earned this title for their appearance, ease of maintenance, quality tone, and overall value. The chanter on "B flat" Firesides has spacing most similar to that of the practice chanter, which makes for an easy transition. A baritone drone, instead of a second tenor adds another dimension of sound. Each drone can be shut off by turning the stock to help with tuning. Made in the U.S.A. Choosing a Key: The "A" Firesides are most compatible with guitars, fiddles and whistles. So if you're thinking about playing in a group, the "A" is your best choice. The "A" chanter has a slightly wider finger spread on the lower notes than the "B flat."
