Keith Jeffers, World Renowned Master bagpipe Maker
My method:
I didn’t simply just try to copy an old bagpipe then make a couple of small tweaks to the design. I studied old drone designs intensively, then set forth with over a decade of testing bore designs. This led to my proprietary bore systems. My pipes are unlike any other highland bagpipe in the world and perform both in tone and performance like no other. Jeffers bagpipes are played at the very highest level of bagpipe competitions representing the very pinnacle of performance.
I began my Highland Bagpipe playing career in the year 2000. I was taught to play the bagpipes initially under instruction from the Evansville Pipeband. There was a whirlwind of bagpipe excitement in the group with members from the Scottish mainland participating.
I went on to study under renowned professional piper, Greg Abbott, of Kokomo Indiana. Greg refined my bagpipe piping skills and set me on the path to piping success.
It wasn't long into my bagpipe playing career that I figured out that I wasn't very satisfied with the current bagpipes available on the market. Being an incredibly curious person by nature, and inventive, I set forth down the long path of creating my own bagpipes and chanters. Gone went fifteen years of research and development to where we find ourselves today, at the cutting edge of bagpipe design and performance.
Thank you for taking the time to review my work, I am deeply honored to have you here.
Happy Piping,
Keith Jeffers
