Made to exacting standards from carefully selected and seasoned African Blackwood, the Strathmore Bagpipe produces a harmonic musical sound, is easy to reed, and will maintain a very steady tone. When you purchase a set of Strathmore Bagpipes you are investing in an instrument for life.
In designing the Strathmore Bagpipe, Murray Henderson used his years of experience to create an instrument that would perform, for him, at the highest level. It was Murray’s belief that if he could meet this standard, and his own level of expectation in a musical instrument, he would have created a bagpipe for himself and all pipers. Since their creation, Murray has played a full set of Strathmore Bagpipes in every competition. In 2006, Murray won the Clasp at the Northern Meeting, an event which is regarded as the world’s most prestigious piobaireachd competition, playing a full set of Strathmore Bagpipes.
