Piping Live 2015 - Stuart Liddell plays his new Duncan MacRae Pipes

Kenny MacLeod introduces Stuart Liddell, who owns an original antique set of Duncan MacRae pipes. These new Duncan MacRae pipes are an exact copy of the original, which was accurately measured and replicated by McCallum Bagpipes, capturing the fine tone.

Duncan MacRae had started up his bagpipe making business in Glasgow in 1897, and his son, James, took over in 1930, the firm continuing until 1951, later being sold to Grainger & Campbell who were flourishing during the 50's and 60's in Argyle Street.

Duncan had been a great innovator, having devised the hempless metal tuning slide, the chanter grip, a threaded, tuneable bass drone top, drone stocks with threaded locking nuts (to allow easy fitting to the pipe bag), and differing diameter bores to the top sections of the two tenor drones, giving a quieter centre drone.
