Packaging Contents
When you open the packaging of your instrument (a rigid cardboard
box), you will find the following items enclosed:
Hard case for gaita
New high qulity hard case, designed for comfortable carriage, as well as excellent physical and thermal protec-
tion. It offers hygrometer, various external pockets, an area for personal effects and internal cavities for gaita
accessories. Thanks to the versatility of its handles, it can be carried over the shoulder or even as a rucksack.
The gaita
Made and checked by the Obradoiro de Gaitas Seivane with the highest level of quality. Its assembly
only requires the parts of the bass drone, separated during transport, to be joined again.
Set of replacements
Includes one chanter reed, one valve (Seipón) for the blowpipe, two valves (Seipal) and one button.
Cleaning brushes
Set of three brushes designed specially to clean the internal parts of the gaita: one to remove the conden-
sation in the tuning slides of the bass drone in a humid atmosphere, another one for the blowpipe, and a
third one for the chanter.
A pot of Seite
High quality almond oil, solely for the internal cleansing of the
chanter. Do not use it on other parts of the gaita, as it could affect
the Seipal and Seipón valves. It is recommended to apply as per the
photograph, three drops through a hole and spread using the clean-
ing brush. Frequency of use, twice a year. Despite being in an air-
tight jar, Seite is vulnerable to heat and we therefore recommend
you keep it at home.
