Murray Huggins Presents

COLIN KYO "keeyo" BAGPIPES | Bagpipe Sets

Only the finest materials are selected for the manufacture of a Colin Kyo Instrument. All mounts are properly threaded onto position in the classic fashion. Great care is taken in the beading and combing process to ensure that its detail is perfect and without flaws. The combing tool I use leaves rich, deep lines. This is not your average bagpipe.


CK NICKEL #4 Blackwood bagpipes with nickel ferrules and chanter band. Resin ivory projecting mounts and ring caps.

The Colin Kyo bagpipe contours leave nothing to be desired. Each bagpipe part I create sings of hand made perfection and evokes the richness that is possible without the intent of mass production. I create a work of art that will propel you onto the stage of the serious musician. By using natural decorations including hardwoods, antler and sterling silver I ensure that the Colin Kyo bagpipe will be admired and enjoyed for generations. As both a player and a pipe maker I deliver each instrument in top playing condition. I pride myself on the fact that I do everything in the production of my instrument including reed making, metal forming, silver engraving and turning.

I am delighted to be among the first to offer a laminate/composite as an alternative to African Blackwood. While the laminate/composite remains impervious to the elements it retains all the characteristics of the best Blackwood. Judge for yourself. It is aesthetically pleasing and a joy to play.

Colin Kyo bagpipes come with my personal guaranty of satisfaction.
