Seivane

The first gaita for his great-grandson

40

Carefully observed by his sons, Alvaro and Xosé, Xosé Manuel Seivane is carving what will be the first bagpipe for Brais, son of Moisés Facal and Sainza Seivane, both members of the Obradoiro de Gaitas Seivane staff. Brais, who is 8 months old, will receive the bagpipe as a Christmas gift. The set was made from boxwood and it is tuned in high G, a tonality never made until now. This represents a new innovation in the world of bagpipes by the Seivane family.
