Bagpipe and Practice Chanter Cases

Pacaway Bag

Practice Chanter Cases (Bags)

These are all made in Scotland out of a tough material that is flock-backed black vinyl, to simulate leather.

Irish flutes and low whistles will fit styles CC2, CC3 and CC4. 

CC1. In this style,  which takes either long or standard chanters, your practice chanter comes apart and the two pieces sit beside each other. The plastic pocket is for your reed(s). Carrying handles, and zipper around three sides. If your playing manual is the slim style, you can get that inside as well. 16 1/2" long x 6" wide when zipped shut. $18.

At left we show the CC1 case with a long chanter and its reed. A standard chanter fits just as well.

CC3. Long case with handles (see photo at left); the zipper goes around three sides, so that the case opens flat. Overall size: 26" long x 4" wide.  You do not have to take your chanter apart to put it into this case. It is long enough for long as well as standard chanters, and is wide enough for a sole. This case also takes Irish flutes and low whistles, which are about the same length as long practice chanters. $17
 

CC4. Budget practice chanter case is made of black nylon fabric, lightly padded, with Velcro closure on flap. This case is long enough for a standard chanter; a long chanter has to be taken apart to go in. It's wide enough for two standard chanters side by side, or the two parts of a long chanter. Inside measurements: 22" x 4". $12

CC2. This case is like the CC1 above, except that this one is deeper and has two plastic pockets; one will hold a College of Piping green book, and the other will hold reeds. You can just barely get a larger book (for instance, a standard 8 1/2 x 11" size) into this case, but this size of book will not go into the plastic pocket. Size when zipped shut: 17" x 9". $21

Soft Padded Bagpipe Case

PC2. This padded lightweight case has a zipper around three sides and an outside zippered pocket on the side, . This case can be carried three ways: with side handles as shown at left, by a handle at the end (see below left) or as a back pack (see below right). Your pipes travel in a nest of thick padding. The outside material is a woven heavy-duty nylon-type fabric. Inside dimensions: 22" x 11" x 5". Note that this is a soft case, and that the dimensions are somewhat flexible on all sides, so that extra-large pipes will fit as well. Weight of case: just a shade over 2 pounds. Made in Scotland by Thistle of Blantyre. Available in black color. $125. We have one of these left.

The rise in the British pound, among other things, has really hit the price of these cases. Our apologies.

Quilted Fabric Bagpipe Case

PC3. Budget bagpipe carrying case. Tough quilted black nylon, nylon zipper with metal zipper pulls, carrying handles. 24 1/2" long, 6" wide, 6" high. The zipper goes all along the length on top. A fullsize set of highland pipes goes easily into this case. $25

PC4. Hard case for standard bagpipes. Blue, with red fabric interior. 23 1/2" x 8" x 6 1/2", slightly less inside. $60

We also have a roomy hard case on our uilleann pipes page, at $60. This one looks like the one at left, but is larger.

Nylon Carrying Bag for Bagpipes: Pacaway Bag.

PC5. Pacaway bag. That's what they call it in Scotland! For carrying your pipes safe and dry on your back while you walk around with your hands free, as shown at left. This is very useful at highland festivals or parades, especially if it rains. Made of black nylon fabric, this carrying bag will fold up into a small space and slip into your bagpipe case when not in use. Adjustable wide shoulder strap. Drawstring cord and closure button keep it shut. The bag is 30" long overall; we put a fullsize set of highland pipes into the bag for the photo, and there was plenty of room for the bag to close over the pipes at the top. Made in Scotland. $22
