I've known Martin for a good few years now. As a friend, and as the maker of my pipes from the previous company he worked for. Trustworthy doesn't even describe how I feel about his craftsmanship. When he informed me of his new venture of MacBeth and Co Bagpipes I said to him I couldn't wait to place another order. After sending him a picture of the full silver practise chanter design I was after and agreeing on an amazing price, he told me he had started to work. I was in shock when Mr Postie left a nice wee package in such a prompt time scale. I love it! I will not go anywhere else. Extremely highly recommend to all who cherish quality.
