The Naill chanter became the choice of the vast majority of solo pipers, and from the 1970s to 2004, most solo prizes in top competitions have been won on Naill chanters.
Year after year, the top prizes came home on Naill chanters, and the reputations of most of the current master players were made on this exceptional instrument.
Every major award—the Gold and Silver Medals, the Dunvegan Medal, the Clasp, the Open Piobaireachd, the BratachGorm, the Silver Star, the Glenfiddich Championship—have been won many times over with Naill bagpipes and chanters.
