CAMERON BAGPIPES

Conversion Service

Cameron joints
fitted to blackwood pipes
In addition to supplying parts to the Trade, and full sets of bagpipes direct to the Public, we offer a conversion service for existing bagpipes.

By using our expertise to convert your pipes you can be confident of getting your upgrade from hemp to new, patented Cameron joints 'right first time'.

Accurate Meausuring
Because the dimensions of joints vary from one set of bagpipes to another, our service includes the expert measurement of each joint-housing. This allows us to work within the fine degrees of accuracy needed to guarantee the perfect fit of each Cameron joint to your instrument.

Quality of Sound
The quality of sound from your bagpipes will be unaffected by conversion to hempfree Cameron joints. This is true of both the Standard and FirstChoice options.

Standard Joint Set
Contains joints for stocks and tuning slides, together with our unique non-return valve. This incorporates a replaceable rubber seal held in the bush by a pvc circlip.

FirstChoice Joint Set
FirstChoice contains the Standard joints plus the new, unique Cameron Reed Protector. This innovation dramatically reduces accidental damage to the delicate reed when the chanter is being removed or re-fitted.

We also offer the additional optional refinement of our new Reed Protector Tube which completely surrounds the reed to give maximum protection. Recent tests indicate that this optional extra, whilst retaining the quality of sound, may slightly increase the volume from the chanter.

Any make of bagpipes can be professionally converted in our workshop from as little as GB£100 , plus carriage. All patented Cameron joints and workmanship are fully guaranteed.
