“The overall workmanship and finish as well as the tonal quality would give me no hesitation in recommending the Wallace bagpipe to any band or professional piper.” - Pipe Major Robert Mathieson
“In the Red Hot Chilli Pipers we need instruments that can cope with the stress of being on the road and touring all over the world. They have to be stable whether we are playing on a freezing cold stage in Inverness or in the blistering heat of Saudi Arabia. Wallace Bagpipes have definitely stood up to our demands...And more.” - Willie Armstrong, Red Hot Chilli Pipers & Scottish Power Pipe Band (Former Member)
“I currently have a very old set of pipes which are a very good set of drones but the sound I’m getting out of my new Wallace Bagpipes is right up there too which is very impressive for a set of pipes that are less than a year old! Most of the school band are playing Wallace Bagpipes and I’ve been getting great comments from the judges about our drone sound.” - Pipe Major Lee Moore, Preston Lodge High School Pipe Band
“I have played and dealt with just about every bagpipe manufacturer out there and I have never come across the professionalism I have experienced with Wallace bagpipes. Onstage and in the studio with Gaelic Storm I need a bagpipe that sounds great, looks great, stays in tune and is reliable. Wallace bagpipes do all of this and more. I recommend them to both my peers and students for a sound investment.” - Peter Purvis, Gaelic Storm, bagpipelesson.com
“My Wallace Bagpipes have a staying in tune power that very few other makes have to offer, I knew right then that I had a fantastic set of pipes under my arm!” - Scott Wallace, Field Marshall Montgomery Pipe Band
