What They Are Saying About Strathmore Bagpipes and Chanters

chanter_reed250Excerpts from a March 2005 Review by Bill Livingstone in Piper & Drummer Magazine:

What does the Strathmore sound like? It sounds very good indeed. It has a very nice presence, it's bright and clean, and while it projects well (admittedly a hard quality to measure when playing) there is a warm quality to it which is ideal for solo piping. I could achieve tonal stability over sessions of an hour and a half, and I was very pleased with the quality of the piobaireachd high G.

How often have we squinted at the space above high G to see the name of the maker? Not so with the Strathmore. The name is prominently displayed on the ball of the chanter, in large deeply engraved letters – a kind of declaration of pride, and well-deserved it is.
