does it has a natural reed?

[ogallmo]

@TheValkoooo Yes, Arundo donax. The traditional material is Phragmites australis (Arundo does not grow in Sweden), but Arundo is more reliable.

what does a sackpiepa cost round about?

[ogallmo]

@Comediantrumpet A bagpipe by the Swedish makers costs 4000-8000 SEK. There are makers in your country too, but I don't know their prices. Check with the Sackpfeifenbau site. I'm coming to Germany (Mecklenburg) to give a workhop in December, by the way. There will be makers there too.
