It’s a Ginsberg…

And if the photo is correct, it’s a left handed one.

Am I right in thinking that the drones and regulators can be rearranged into a new stock to make them right handed?

Yes, not a big task.

The chanter seems to be right handed too.

You’ll need a new main stock and a new bag. Probably not much more than $500.

The stock alone could cost around that but then all the fittings are there. In some cases the bracket on the bass regulator metal section might have to be re-done. If the holes for the screws line up above a regulator or drone bore, the walls of the wood might be too thin to hole screws securely. So it’s a case by case job.

I made a left handed stock for a W Rowsome set recently and we were just unlucky with how that piece lined up, so I had to make a new metal section for the bass regulator.

It reached a Hammer price of £1500.
