Fill-free Algerian briar, vulcanite stems, opened bits, chamfered tenons, and charming, no-nonsense classic French designs; Sebastien Beo's pipes, which he produces out of the old 19th century Genod factory in storied St. Claude, offer a lot of quality, as well as a lot of tasteful style. And they do so at one hell of a modest price.
