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.

Beautiful set of pipes!
Delivered to me fully assembled and ready to play! MG reeds produce tremendous harmonics in these pipes Highly recommend the MacRaes! Look good and sound even better.

Duncan Macrae SL4
Really a great set of pipes! Easy to reed and set up. Service from J.Higgins is always phenomenal. If back ordered, the wait is very well worth it. I also definitely recommend a Gannaway pipe bag with this set if you are playing allot. It is very well worth the investment all together.

Absolutely Splendid
These pipes are phenominal! they look simply stunning with the imitation ivory bushings and the lovely engraving design. The sleek profile makes them very light on the shoulder. The tone is amazing, neither booming nor quiet, but a rich, harmonic, enveloping sound with a strong but deep bass. They are extremely easy to tune and bafflingly steady. I can't recommend these pipes enough, neither can I recommend J Higgins enough. Wonderful pricing, speedy shipping and wonderful customer service, the are every bit top notch as these pipes.

Awesome Tone
I've been playing X brand for a while. Every make of pipe has a different tone, reed dependant of course, but the tone, blend, and overall make of these pipes it great. I had to redo the tenor tops to put the middle top on the middle but service was fast and professional
