In 2018 R.G. Hardie celebrates 150 years of Peter Henderson Bagpipes. To mark this historic occasion this unique set of Heritage Bagpipes paying tribute to the Henderson tradition was launched. An instrument of the highest quality to play and pass onto the next generation.
Peter Henderson Heritage Bagpipes are made from African Blackwood, exotic Satinwood from East India and nickel with a unique laser etched thistle design. The projecting mount profile is based upon a 1910 set which are more refined in comparison to those of the 1920’s. The Satinwood we have carefully selected is rated first grade and polishes to a high natural lustre providing a beautiful contrast to African Blackwood. Using state of the art software we have created a unique thistle design with a level of detail that can only be achieved with laser etching.
Peter Henderson Bagpipes are the most sought after instrument in the world. Their unique sound and tonal qualities ensure Pipers of all abilities aspire to own a set of Henderson bagpipes.
The Blackwood bagpipes feature an innovative plastic lining system in the blowpipe and blowpipe stock which protects the inside of the wood from the stresses and strains caused by moisture.
Each Set comes with it's own unique number engraved on the Bass Stock.

The Peter Henderson Heritage pipes look and sound great. The engraving is impressive and the grain in the boxwood mounts make the pipes look very authentic. The tone is very full and sonorous with a deep resonant bass and overall they have a very warm and resonant sound. I really enjoyed playing them at Winter Storm this year.
