This bagpipe came out of Wisconsin, wound up in South Dakota, and then was sent to me before making the long trip across the Atlantic. The instrument is stamped in several places "J. Grant" and "Aberdeen".
I don't want to admit how many hours I stared at the many stamps on this bagpipe. I took many photographs and them put them into Photoshop using various filters and angles to try to pry the secrets from these pieces of wood and bone. There may or may not be a connection to the chanter stamped W. Grant, shown elsewhere in the museum and owned by friend Andreas Hartmann-Virnich.
J. Grant, Aberdeen
