Lindsay System Scottish smallpipes and chanters, Qwistle whistles, and separate 3D-printable instrument files, designed and made in Orkney by Donald WG Lindsay.

I'm Donald WG Lindsay, a piper, singer and instrument maker. Lindstruments is the home of the Lindsay System Scottish smallpipes and Qwistle whistles.

The Lindsay System Scottish smallpipes provide over two octaves of range without requiring keys. I make complete instruments and separate chanters for suitable existing pipes. My website includes performances, scale demonstrations and practical explanations to help you hear and explore the instruments.

The Qwistle family includes finished soprano whistles in several pitches and the separate Low D Qwistle. Current ordering and availability information is on Lindstruments.com.

For people making their own instruments, separate downloadable projects include files and making guides. Each project has its own contents and licence. The free online Virtual Chanter is an interactive tool for exploring Lindsay System fingerings and tunes; physical instruments and printable files are separate offers.

Visit Lindstruments.com to hear the instruments, explore the projects or contact me about your playing and making.
