Tell us something.: I used to play pipes about 20 years ago and suddenly abducted by aliens.

I have a Mackenzie practice set. The chanter is made from Red Lancewood and I'm currently having a half set made into a full set.
Ian is a great pipemaker (and great person) to deal with, exceptionally knowledgeable about his craft.
He can be reached at:

His website was down for renovation last year but I guess he got too busy to finish it.

Justin Pickford has been referenced here for some bad work.
