	ENGLISH BAGPIPES	Welcome to my website! I have been playing, researching, developing and making a unique range of English bagpipes, Scottish smallpipes and Border pipes for 20 years. More about me All my pipes are of the highest quality of design, tone and performance, made by me in the finest tradition of pipe-making and craftsmanship. They are in great demand and since as a one-man business my output is limited, I currently have a waiting list of upwards of two years. More about my pipes Each set of pipes is supplied fully set up and ready to play. I welcome enquiries. Choosing a new set of pipes can be a daunting task and I am very happy to give advice.
