I’m not a piper

I’m not a piper, nor do I play the pipes or chanter, I only bought the chanter so as to use it when making a chanter stand for a friend…. However , it was dispatched quickly and sent out in decent strong packaging.
And by all accounts was well made and served its purpose.

The violin was delivered quickly but I was very disappointed with the size and quality. It feels very cheap and toy like and I am waiting for details on how to return for a refund.
