About Colin Kyo Bagpipes

Our History

Yoko And I were married in Osaka in 1999.  We are absolutely crazy about each other.  Each year we spend a month in Japan. I keep a work bench there with duplicate engraving tools so I can keep working while Yoko is out with her friends. Her family has always been extremely supportive.  Colin Kyo is our son's name. Kyozo  was Yoko's grandfather. Thus the name Kyo.  Ojiisan was very generous to us and enthusiastic about my work. 

Family

Our children are adults now and involved in their careers. We are very close and we spend a lot of time together. I rely on them to evaluate my work and my piping. They keep me on track. They understand the focus it takes to provide the best work. 

The two of us.

Yoko and I love travelling. We snapped this photo in Ninh Binh, Vietnam.

Paddles for bellows

The bellows are being saddled by Dally Leather on Vashon Island, Washington. 

I shaped the bellow paddles and the hardware.  Made from Bolivian Rosewood, African Blackwood intake valve and German silver hardware.

Custom engraving

Ian Crane had me engrave the existing German Silver on his David Naill Bagpipes.  I finished last week.  He is a wonderful musician. His pipes look fantastic!

Murray Huggins 2025

My earliest memories involve music and art. As a boy I began art lessons with Lola MacDonald and I pursued music lessons from a number of excellent musicians including William Keddie,  James McColl, and  Raymond Weaver. 

Silver sets

I form all of the silver fittings from flat sheet.

I had a lot of fun engraving these. The time flew by. I really like the background.  A custom  request.
