P/M Ian MacLellan BEM needs no introductions. He was appointed as Pipe Major of the Strathclyde Police Pipe Band in 1972 and turned the band into one of the most revered and respected pipe bands in history. With Ian at the helm, the band won 12 World Championships titles. The 6 World Pipe Band Championships won in successive years (1981-1986), remains unequalled to this day.
Here's what he had to say about Canning Drone Reeds:
'What a sound, first class. No problems with having to fiddle about with them. They went straight away and the balance with the chanter is excellent, especially the bass drone. You're onto a winner!'
