Reel pipes, also called half sets, kitchen pipes, or parlour pipes, are a type of bagpipe from England and Scotland. They are a smaller version of the larger Great Highland pipes. Reel pipes are usually quieter, making them good for playing indoors.
Reel pipes have a cone-shaped inside, similar to the Great Highland pipes or Border pipes. This is different from the Scottish smallpipes, which have a parallel-shaped inside. Reel pipes are usually played in the keys of A or Bb.
