Projecting Mounts
Pictured below are the distinctive MacDougall™-shape projecting mounts on Atherton bagpipes. The mounts are available in artificial ivory, holly, boxwood, and African blackwood as standard materials. If you are interested in another material for mounts, please call or email.

All mounts, regardless of the material, are precision threaded onto the wood. This eliminates the common problem of loose and falling mounts, which is so common on inferior brands of pipes.
