The David Naill Co. has been making exceptional instruments in the south of England since Les Cowel began the company in 1976. Les had apprenticed in the Henry Starck shop beginning in the mid-1940s, a shop well known for high production standards and quality instruments. David Naill remains today one of the premier bagpipe makers.
There is no shopping cart on this page because I believe it is important that I speak with you about the bagpipe you are considering buying. Specific fit and proper components are extremely important in providing a bagpipe that will be comfortable and that works well for you.
