and Pipemakers With this fine recording, Kevin
Rowsome assumes his rightful place in the long line of
Rowsome pipers and pipemakers. He displays considerable
talents on three sets, a concert set made by his grandfather
Leo, a C# set made by his great grandfather William and a
lovely C set probably made by the famous 19th century maker
Harrington. William
