1 brand new set of Duncan MacRae reproduction SL4 bagpipes including reeds and case, this set has never been assembled or played. The Duncan MacRae reproduction bagpipes are exact copies of the original MacRae pipes played by Stuart Liddell.
I won these in a raffle at The Worlds in 2015 – my son and I were there with the Lord Selkirk RFM Memorial Pipe band and we attended the gala concert on the Friday night. I dashed in at the last minute (as usual!) and bought a G&T at the bar, then a single raffle ticket for the draw. I didn’t even know what the prizes were, but when you are in pipe bands, fundraising is just something you support! At the intermission there was great fanfare around the release of the Duncan MacRae special edition pipes. I wasn’t really paying attention when the ticket numbers were being released, and then I realized that my number was called. It was absolutely silent in the hall until my shouts of joy filled the place! The McCallum rep was a little disappointed to learn that I didn’t play, and that my son didn’t play (he’s a snare drummer!). My youngest son has decided that he doesn’t want to play (yet) and I don’t want this beautiful set of pipes to languish in a cupboard for a moment longer.
