I have been playing the Gannaway products now for several years.  It has helped us win several Championships, including the 2006 World Championships in Grade two as well as the North American Championships in Grade two.  We have also been very successful with this product in grade one with having won ensemble and placing third in the Worlds 2009 qualifier.  I have found this bag to be of superior quality, very comfortable and tonally exceptional.

The shape of the neck is second to none, and the ease of playing the bag in is fantastic.  The bag can only be described as a “Sheep with benefits”.  The zipper that Gannaway has perfected has so many uses that makes playing easier, from the ease of tying in to seasoning, and quick access to any kind of water system.

We have played this product in every extreme weather condition there is, from 40 degree heat, to very wet and raining, and on the Curling Ice at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.  I can say without question that this bag can handle it all very well with no sacrifice for sound or tone.

I would not hesitate to recommend this product to any band or soloist.

Peter Henderson bagpipes, hand crafted from the finest african blackwood, 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.  Available in a number of exclusive designs in silver and nickel, they are crafted by the RG Hardie & Co. team with over 40 years experience.

More and more pipers, from beginner to the world's best, are now opting for 'new' Bagpipes ahead of second-hand.  Technology and competition now means that the Craftmanship of new bagpipes is often at least as good as that of many of the 'classic' pipes that were the choice of champions for generations.  Now, many top bands and soloists have traded their classic pipes for the stability, reliability, and tonal brilliance being achieved by some of the Pipe Makers in the world today. 

Here at Gannaway New Zealand, we're proud that we only stock the finest of new Bagpipes, endorsed by some of the best Pipers in the world. 

We're also proud to offer a complete service, from expert set-up of your new instrument to total back-up of your new 'pride and joy'.  It's important to us that your Bagpipe meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.  It's the most important investment a Piper will ever make!
