Gunn, William
Glasgow pipemaker William Gunn ran his business from 1834 – 1866. Some interesting tidbits -
- Gunn was credited with being the first to make a smallpipe chanter that tuned to the highland bagpipes scale and used the same fingering.
- one of his turners, William MacKinnon(PM of the 74th Highlanders), went on to turn pipes for Donald MacPhee
- Gunn was a fairly prolific composer and was published in his own book as well as William Ross’.
Are there any pictures of William Gunn, and his first born son John Gunn?
