Gibson Polypenco Firesides with Brass Firesides in the key of "A" are most compatible with guitars, fiddles and whistles. If you're thinking about playing in a Celtic Folk group, the "A" model is your best choice. The "A" chanter has a slightly wider finger spread on the lower notes than the "Bflat." Firesides are our top-selling smallpipes and have earned this title for their appearance, ease of maintenance, and quality Gibson tone. If you already play the Great Highland Pipes, you will find transitioning to the Firesides relatively easy. A baritone drone, instead of the second tenor on the Highland pipes, adds another dimension of sound. The Firesides are a great value! Made in the U.S.A. Features of the Gibson Poly Firesides: Durable Poly instrument Can go anywhere, including across international borders without issue No slender wood tuning pins Very nice look with brass accents Synthetic pipe bag (one size fits all) Full set of long-lasting plastic reeds Bag cover (color as supplied by Gibson) Silk cord Change the key: Purchase a "B flat" Firesides chanter and reed set, and you'll have an "Bflat" set, too.
