Players at this world class standard are all renowned for their quality of tone. You simply do not win these events unless you have “the sound”.

Against vintage sets from the turn of the century and other modern makes Strathmore Bagpipes have produced “that sound”.

In 2010 Patricia and Murray's daughter Faye won the Highland Society of London's Gold Medal at the Argyllshire Gathering with the complete Strathmore Bagpipes/Henderson Reedmakers combination! The first female in history to win at this level, and at the tender age of 18.
