It was this high quality and reputation  that caused John Ratzenburger ( Cheers) of “ Made in America “ TV segment on the discovery channel to select Gibson Bagpipes  for a segment on this TV show. This segment has proven to be very popular judging by the number re runs that has appeared.

We innovate new ideas alongside existing and traditional products to ensure top calibre products for the newest of pipers through to world-class experienced players. For example our telescoping blowpipe has a round as well as an optional  oval mouth piece, our  pipe chanter, has been used very successfully by many top bands world wide including grade 1 to 4), James J. Coyne Memorial Pipe Band (California)  the Toronto police as well as the Winnepeg Celtic  won champion supreme in grade 3 this year and the 87^th Cleveland Pipe Band (Cleveland Ohio) has proven its effectiveness and outstanding success. The Gibson drones supply that depth of sound and umbrella over your shoulder that competes with the classical pipes of yesteryear. The Gibson drones were selected by the Ontario Piper and Drummer ( Feb issue 1996) as being #1 in an unbiased test by adjudicators of the Ontario Piper and Drummer magazine.

In addition our new Ceilidh Pro small  pipes revolutionized small pipes by taking one set of pipes and allowing you to play them in three different keys.
