MH Reeds have got a brand new website. You can order individual reeds, or packs of 10 (or any combination of strengths). You can also get UK shipping for £5 regardless of your order size.

The Bflat reeds are sounding crisp and really hit the spot! Well done to Derek Marr & Ali Hutton on their products.

Here is the Renfrewshire Schools Pipe Band in action in NYC as part of the Tartan Day Parade. Great to see our artwork on display in such an iconic event.

Hopefully you’ll see it on the green this year if you keep an eye out!

There’s been so much talk of bass drum head designs, I bet you don’t know we have been doing music typesetting & design work since 2007.

From music typesetting, arranging proofing, and even adding embellishments for the pipes, we can put together your tunes in a collection that will stand up against any other on the shelves (and web page) of any shop.

Get in touch now to discuss your project.

The City of Brechin Pipe Band are returning customer. Good luck in the new season!

Thanks again to the bands who have entrusted me with the design of their new bass drum heads. It’s been great to work with you, and there is still some time, and space for your band to get in touch.

We can provide artwork for both Evans or Remo bass heads.

Get in touch!

It may look easy to design a bass drum skin…and sometimes it is. But we work with vector imagery to make sure that you get the best finish you can get.

Just look at the pop in that tartan for Lower Clyde Pipes & Drums.

Great to work with you.

Today the band received our new bass skins for the season. Our thanks go to Kingdom Thistle Pipe Band Supplies for organising the design and order.
