It's just two ordinary Gibson long PCs with certain holes plugged.
The hole configuration is
o ooo xxxo
x xxx oooo
o= open hole
x= plugged hole
In other words each hand has its own chanter, and when using ordinary Highland fingering one chanter or the other is always playing Low A giving a 'virtual drone'.
The special double stock was made by New Zealand piper/pipemaker Yuri Terenyi. Yuri also made the blowpipe and bag, but any bag and blowpipe would do. It's the double chanter stock that's the main thing.
