Atherton MD – African Blackwood, artificial ivory, sterling silver tuning slides, blackwood hemp stops.
The Atherton MD is a consistent presence at the highest levels of professional piping, trusted by top prize winners, elite soloists, and Grade One bands.
Atherton bagpipes are bench-made instruments, crafted start to finish by a single maker with 31 years of experience. Each set reflects a continuous, hands-on process where every operation—boring, turning, fitting, and finishing—is carried out by the same experienced craftsman. This singular approach ensures complete continuity of vision and execution, with every detail shaped by one hand rather than divided across a production process. The result is a level of consistency, control, and refinement that cannot be achieved in segmented manufacture. Each decision is guided by a unified standard from beginning to end—both in construction and in tonal outcome.
