Created to commemorate 150 years of Peter Henderson craftsmanship in 2018, the PH1HT Heritage Thistle Bagpipes honor a legacy of excellence while delivering a truly exceptional playing experience.
Crafted from fully combed and beaded African Blackwood with first-grade instrument boxwood mounts, these pipes feature a refined projecting mount profile inspired by a 1910 Henderson set. The natural lustre of the boxwood contrasts beautifully with the depth of the Blackwood, creating a timeless, heirloom-quality instrument.
Laser-etched nickel ferrules, slides, ring caps, and mouthpiece slide showcase an intricate thistle design—achieved with precision technology while preserving traditional artistry. An innovative plastic lining system in the blowpipe and blowpipe stock protects against moisture, ensuring long-term durability and tonal consistency.
Each set is individually numbered on the bass stock and backed by a 5-year guarantee—crafted not only to perform at the highest level, but to be passed proudly to the next generation.
Praised for its full, sonorous tone with deep, resonant bass, this is a set that inspires pipers of every level to aspire higher.
