"They are beautiful and the craftsmanship is extraordinary."
Dr. Gary Abercrombie, Texas
"Murray: I love this chanter! Every note has a richness and purity I've never heard on any other chanter I've ever used, gracenotes are so clear and crisp, and it has surprisingly good volume! Very comfortable too! Thank you so much!"
Charlie Graves, New York
"Sincere thanks for giving me the most beautifully hand crafted and heart stirring set of pipes I have ever seen, heard, or played in my life. You are a true artist and musician to be able to create such an instrument."
Barry Johnson, Oregon
"It really does seem North America has come into its own in this thing of ours. Colin Kyo bagpipes made by Murray Huggins get my vote. He makes them, he plays them, he stands by them and above all, he is great to talk to. In my experience, when you deal with him, you not only get a bagpipe, but you get a friend who is PASSIONATE about what he is doing and really cares about what YOU have to say. Outstanding!"
George A. MacDonald, California
"It's good to see that quality pipes don't just come from Scotland. I am delighted with the pipe chanter and the drone reeds. Your pipes are stunning!"
Alec Russell, Scotland
"Your chanter lives up to all of my expectations. It is remarkably easy to play and to tune. I have experienced nothing but excellence so far from your products."
Patrick McLaurin, Texas
"I love it! It is definitely my most comfortable chanter to play."
David Hogg, Canada
"The talent and the precision of Murray’s craftsmanship is staggering. I’m delighted I chose a Colin Kyo bagpipe. Far and above the best sounding bagpipe I have ever listened to. This is an instrument I will cherish throughout my lifetime."
Dr. Bernd Egidy, Oregon
"Murray Huggins of Colin Kyo bagpipes would be one of the few highly experienced manufactures of quality Highland bagpipes. He is a true craftsman, not just a machinist, a craftsman who produces quality in sound and workmanship second to none."
Terry Power, Australia
"I recommend the Colin Kyo chanter. It is air efficient and has great projection even with easier reeds. The chanter is extremely comfortable to finger. I am sold on the drone reeds as well. Not only do they tune the drones at the right spot they produce a sound very similar to cane reeds."
P/M Charlie Martin, CDF California
"My pipes are beautifully crafted. I coudn't imagine owning a set of pipes that are made with more love and care. When I show them to friends and family, the usual response is "Wow!" The beauty of the instrument is matched by the sound they make."
Tom Swanston, England
"These are wonderful pipes. They look and sound beautiful. The pipes arrived ready to play. Working with Murray was a fantastic experience."
Stephan Severson, Washington
"It is something of a treat, being able to be present in Murrays' shop, watching as he turns billet of seasoned blackwood into what can only be described as works of art, as well as superb musical instruments. Not a CNC device to be found in this shop, anywhere. Using a metal lathe and specialized tools, Murray creates his instruments using his eyes and his experience. If I were allowed only one word to describe the sound, the quality of the created Colin Kyo Bagpipes, I would opt for: Sweet!! "
JR Miller, Oregon
"The quality in sound and the craftsmanship is absolutely superb. Easy to tune, and I like the fact that the reed sits high in the reed seat."
Bill McInnes, Wisconsin
"Our entire band purchased Colin Kyo instruments. We have never had tuning issues. It seems as though little effort is needed to get a good sound out of the Band. Murray's a great instructor, Piper and Pipe maker."
Captain Rick Hood, CDF California
"The Chanter has a good true sound. The finger holes are perfectly straight and comfortable. A good instrument indeed."
Jimmy McColl, Oregon
"When I played the chanter for the first time I was impressed at how easy it was to tune. I was really enjoying my self. When I proceeded to sound High A, absolute joy! Clean, crisp and brilliant."
Bill White, Pennsylvania
"These are exactly what I wanted! Proud Owner of a CK6."
Brandon Hatley, Oregon
"My Colin Kyo Bagpipes are awesome! "
Riley Hamilton, Oregon
"It is without doubt a quality instrument of which you are justifiably proud."
Andrew Head, Australia
