Mr Swayne's (English) border pipes, they are, too - but the chanter design is influenced by French bagpipe technology which gives you those extrs few notes on top of the octave.

pretty sure they're border pipes

Just lovely.

The 1st one is called "Tenth anniversary waltz", the 2nd one "Stamford" - both compositions of Jon himself.
Printed versions (melody & chords) of both in "Blowzabella - new tunes for dancing" (a great tunebook BTW!) - it should be possible to order it through Blowzabella's website.

Did anyone say what this tune is? Can the score be purchased?

the pastoral pipes and the border pipes both come from the anglo scottish border so why not call both of them border pipes. true eh ? steve laird

They are what Jon Swayne sells as Border Pipes and are his own evolution of the old border pipes from the Anglo Scottish border. However his chanter design owes much to French chanter design and he builds them in a variety of keys not just the original A. This set is in D. Incidentally he has made pastoral pipes as well.
