Worlds first carbon fiber goose and a trip to Pleasanton


Well it is complete, the worlds first Carbony Goose! Looks and sounds great with a loud practice reed like the Gibson.

I am off to Pleasanton to show my new products, we developed a weave outer (not for the purists) for those really want that carbon fiber look. I will be camped out at the House of Bagpipe booth at the Caledonian Highland Games with products brochures and maybe even wearing a MacKenzie kilt. Stop by and see the worlds second ever carbon fiber goose!

Whistles and a Goose!

More and more good stuff following up after Seattle. I have been commissioned to build a practice chanter goose, which is my practice chanter design modified to fit into a full size bag and play as one would play a regulation chanter. The advantage of this product is one can practice both bag and finger work without waking the neighbors. Once I have acceptance of the commission don't be surprised to see this new product on the website. Also working now a with whistle maker on an aluminum fipple to fit on my whistle and a low D version of my sold out Carbony design. And probably the most exciting news is a recent project outfitting a full band, no formal announcements quite yet but the plan is to have a competition band at the games next year performing on RG MacKenzie chanters.
