I have a stand of Dunfion's No.3 - Army Regulation pipes, and my chanter is a Shepherd. The drones have what I perceive to be a mellower tone than most pipes based on the different reeds I've used over the years. I've been tempted to buy other brands that pipers have offered me, but why change what has worked well for me. No need to trade them in like a car. Besides, she has a name - NicCosheam!
The pipes were made near Brodick, Isle of Arran, Scotland. I was lucky to visit Henry Murdo, the maker (by hand), when I traveled to Scotland in 2003. He's also a piper and student of the Gaelic. His house he built using some of the stones from the ruins of Dun Fion, from above his house.
