McCallum came out with this new model of bagpipe in 2015 and has changed the game of modern bagpipe manufacturing. They are reproduced from an older style of bagpipes that belong to world renowned soloist and pipe major, Stuart Liddell. Stuart has always been known for his antique MacRae bagpipe throughout his career and with it, the amazing tone he was able to produce. The new model is an exact replica of Liddell's prize-winning bagpipe. Sporting beautiful engraving patterns and sleek combing and beading, the MacRae pipes look and sound professional. The new model continues to win prizes in both the solo and band circuit making the MacRae bagpipe one of the popular choices for a new instrument.
All MacRae pipes are backed by their 10 year, no quibble guarantee. We offer free layaway plans on our instruments and other big ticket items so please email admin@jhiggins.net to inquire. Pipes can be ordered "sticks only". Your price will be changed automatically when you choose those options.

BRILLIANT PIPES
After having owned and played many sets of pipes, this MacRae SL2 set is really amazing. Superbly made by McCallum, a beauty to behold and the sound is everything I was expecting. Big bold, with lovely harmonic tenors and a nice big broad bass that produce a wonderful seamless sound. All I can say is thanks J. Higgins. I highly recommend your service and the McCallum MacRae line of pipes.

Everything i hoped they would be
When I ordered the MacRae SL2 pipes I was replacing a half silver set of Gibson bagpipes. They were so easy to set up I was amazed they were new. I played them for almost an hour the first day and felt like drones and chanter had already settled in nicely. Easy strike ins and great full drone sound that is not too loud. A pleasure to own
