Leif Eriksson (pipemaker)

Leif Eriksson (born 1946) is a Swedish cabinetmaker who, along with fiddler Per Gudmundson, developed the modern revival of the Swedish bagpipe[1] in the 1980s.[2][3][4] Eriksson initially only made pipes to order, but his reputation increased when he was asked to produce pipes for the Dalarnas museum (in Swedish).[5]
