Developed in close consultation with McGillivray Piping Partnerships, this classic tonal reproduction recaptures the timeless elegance, workmanship and full drone sound of Gold Medallist Jim McGillivray’s vintage originals. Beginning with the finest African blackwood, we hand-make this instrument using early 19th century care, techniques and uncompromising attention to detail. Combined with the new Medallist solo chanter, this is a modern vintage version of a timeless and time-honored bagpipe. From the moment you pick it up, the uncommon depth, warmth, rock-solid steadiness and ease of reeding will be crystal clear.

These pipes fill the demand for a fuller, more robust drone sound: rich, and with a low, engaging bass sound that encompasses the whole instrument.
