New 2025 Peter Henderson PH02 Bagpipes: Stealth Blackwood Mounts & Big Henderson Drone Sound

Get my free guide: Secrets for Making Your Pipes Easy to Play https://bagpipelessons.com/secrets I’m excited to share a close-up look and sound test of the new Peter Henderson PH02 bagpipes from R.G. Hardie. These are the same great new Hendersons as the PH01—laser-engraved nickel and the updated look—but with blackwood mounts instead of imitation ivory, giving a sleek, “stealth” aesthetic with the same rich Henderson drone sound and superb playability. Watch my PH01 Unboxing video:    • Unboxing the New Peter Henderson Bagpipes:...   In this video you’ll: • Hear the PH02 in action—steady, efficient, and resonant. • See the laser-engraved nickel (Thistle and Celtic options), slides, ferrules, caps, and the blackwood mounts up close. • Learn the key difference between PH01 (imitation ivory) and PH02 (blackwood mounts). • Get a quick tour of the setup I use: Bannatyne hybrid bag with bottom zip, DriFlo moisture control, Infinity pipe chanter, and Perfect Angle™ Blowpipe Positioner. • Understand ordering options (sticks-only, complete, or premium bundle) and how to get your own set. Quick spec note: PH02 = blackwood mounts + laser-engraved nickel; PH01 = imitation ivory mounts + laser-engraved nickel. Both share the new build quality and classic Henderson tone approach.
