Bagpipe maker's price list

Price list is of the Glasgow bagpipe maker, Donald Macphee (1841 - 1880). About 1870, he was reckoned to be the best piper in Scotland. He published four books of music and was succeeded in business by Peter Henderson.

Peter Henderson (1851-1903) came from Inverkeithing though his family was originally from Latheronwheel in Caithness. He took over the bagpipe-making shop in Glasgow of Robert MacKinnon who had earlier taken over the premises of Donald Macphee. Henderson had set up business in 1868, was himself a very good piper and became Pipe Major of the Glasgow Volunteers. His bagpipes have always had a very high reputation.
