“I’ve used their restoration services and upgraded a set of Dunbars. Love the pipes, love the work!”
“Absolutely beautiful! My first set of pipes, and I couldn’t be happier. The engraving and finish are worth every penny.”
“Rick revived an old Glen I thought was beyond repair. Every project I’ve sent him has come back far better.”
“My chanter is bold, rock steady, and the holly mounts are gorgeous. Couldn’t love it more.”
“Rick’s restorations are consistent, flawless, and museum-quality. He’s earned my full trust.”
“I've owned my poly pipes just months shy of 21 years. They have never failed me. Playing in temps from 103 down to 15. Not a glitch. Humidity, nah. I had the privilege of watching the makers at work, and the craftsmanship is obvious. I made Grade 1 with these and they’ve been my working pipes the whole time. Twenty feet away you can’t honestly tell them from BW pipes. Great job, Dunbar, you folks are the best!!!”
“I highly recommend Dunbar. Rick restored my 1958 MacPherson ivory pipes after the blowstick and stock were cracked beyond repair. The Blackwood replacement was so precise it may be better than the original. The finish is superb. The new stock is plastic, but the ivory match is perfect — you’d never know. Pipes like these deserve nothing less.”
“Rick at Dunbar has turned beautiful vintage parts for myself and for bandmates. I’ve trusted Dunbar practice chanters since the 1980s. Their quality and service have always been exceptional.”
