I have Played Booth bagpipes since 1995, and could not be happier with them. I bought a set of full imitation ivory then, and 2 years later, I changed to a half silver set. I have played for 26 years in Scotland, and would seriously recommend them.
Incidently, my band won first place in grade 2 on saturday at Dunbar, not too bad an advert.

Congratulations!!! Just out of curiosity how many Booths were in the band that day. Or better, what was the brand make-up of the entire circle?

not too sure, ive not been in the band long, however, i do know that the Boghall & Bathgate Pipe band encourage all of their new pipers to bye David Booth Bagpipes, they are considered one of the top breeding grounds for new talent in Scotland.
