Royal achievement: Lorne MacDougall on quality piping to millions in the final season of The Crown

Lorne MacDougall of Glasgow is one of the world's most innovative and accomplished Celtic musicians, performing on various instruments, including the Highland pipes. He's an in-demand musician for television and movie soundtracks and scores, and his latest project is one of his biggest: coordinating and performing the Highland piping for the final episodes of the celebrated Netflix series, The Crown.

You advised him well, I assumed the actor had some experience with pipes. He was quite convincing. Anything that felt 'off' was more just the assumption that the actor may or may not even know what audio was ultimately going to be used. Except for the bit when he's walking down the hallway and all you see is the chanter hanging free several inches off the floor. That was a clue it was an actor.

That you, very interesting how it all comes together, 👏👏I wish we had teachers in our area to bring our piping to a higher level.
