Loaner Sets
The British Columbia Uilleann Pipers' Society is pleased to offer a number of loaner
sets to anyone in the area who is interested in trying out a set before
making the decision to purchase one. These sets
are available to anyone who is interested in trying out the pipes, or is
waiting for a set on order. Contact us to be put on the waiting list.
The policies for the loaner sets are:
- The borrower is responsible for paying a $25 user fee.

the Society.

- The loan period may be extended at the discretion of the Society executive.
- If the set is damaged or lost, the borrower must pay full cost for repairs and/or replacement - including damaged reeds.
