Brian Bigley
 
After a three-year apprenticeship with the well-respected uilleann pipe maker, Seth Gallagher, Nate took a trip to Cape Breton Island. There, he became captivated by Scottish Smallpipes, and their role in the island's musical traditions. Focusing his pipemaking skills on Scottish Smallpipes and Border Pipes, Nate has gained a reputation for making beautifully crafted instruments with a rich, creamy filling.

For 15 of his 23 years, Brian has wrestled the angry ostrich in search of the non-linear experience it seems to induce. The most telling manifestation of this is reeds that are extremely resonant and joyous to play.

Nate and Brian share a workshop in Rockaway Beach, in New York City.

A maker, buyer and seller of all makes of bellows, he gladly accepts trade-ins and strays! In his workshop in the Connecticut River valley he has been building and repairing bellows of all sorts, including refurbishing older sets, and customizing and improving newer ones.
