CE Kron & Co. was founded in 1987,
and began making bagpipes at Dobbs Ferry in 1988 under
the name Kilgour & Kron. The original workers were
myself and George Kilgour of Edinburgh. George learned
the trade at James Robertson's shop on Grove Street in
Edinburgh. He stayed working for me in America until the
summer of 1995, at which point Dave Atherton came to work.
Dave learned extremely quickly, and since shortly after that
time the company has been making the finest bagpipes available
today. We use a combination of old world tradition and
cutting edge craftsmanship. These bagpipes and pipe chanters
are played worldwide. In the past five years, due to refinements
in our pipe chanters, we now offer two lines of chanters
that are sought after by soloists and bands. Dave left
in 2007, after twelve years. I now have two other very
promising workers, and CE Kron & Co. continues to make the
world's finest bagpipes and pipe chanters. |
