Hello to everyone and happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the United States.  Our shop has been busier than ever and our products are gaining critical acclaim.  New bands that now perform with our instruments include Bastinado, The Gothard Sisters, Rastaban, Sons of Malarkey and The Celtic Martins.

This season included 27 appearances at highland games, Irish festivals and folk music gatherings. In total we toured 19 states and 2 different countries.  We have met the greatest people and talent everywhere we go and loved talking shop in all kinds of weather.  

It’s been a great year for Carbony™ Celtic Winds and we have a lot to be grateful for. Most of all we want to thank our customers.   We would like to extend a special holiday offer of free domestic priority shipping and $11 international shipping on all orders through the holidays!  Just enter FSHP as your promotion code upon checkout at www.Carbony.com or just ring me up at +1 541 829 3016.

Summer Update 2012

Carbony™ Celtic Winds is proud to announce our newest product. The Scottish Smallpipe is made completely with carbon fiber trimmed with stainless steel and a marbled ebonite blowstick tip. It is our first canister drone instrument and premiers our new drone shutoff valves. It comes tied into a Bannatyne small bag and outfitted with brass drone reeds for a rich sound. Check out this video taken at the Seattle Folklife Festival.
