Welcome to Carbony™ Celtic Winds
Pipe Makers Union, LLC is a carbon fiber wind instrument fabrication company located in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. PMU offers musicians innovative Celtic wind instruments that blend the advantages of modern carbon fiber technology with the time tested designs of traditional craftsmen.
PMU is committed to the development of quality Celtic carbon fiber instruments including chanters, pipes, whistles, flutes and didgeridoos using Carbony™ composite material. Carbony™ is an innovative wood-alternative material that resonates stronger than the densest blackwood: it will not crack, break or rot; it is geometrically stable over variable temperature and humidity; it stays as built – no warping or drying out over time; and it makes for a more responsive instrument.
With our growing line of products we are providing high quality wind instruments for use by professional musicians around the globe.
Premium Carbon Fiber Instruments Built for Tone, Strength, and Sustainability
We create flutes, whistles, bagpipes, gaitas, tabor pipes, and didgeridoos using aerospace-grade carbon fiber. You get the warmth of wood—without the warping, cracking, or tuning issues. Perfect for travel, performance, or everyday playing.
Why Carbon Fiber?
Wood sounds beautiful—but it’s fragile. Our carbon fiber instruments are tough, lightweight, and acoustically rich. You’ll enjoy consistent tone and tuning in any climate, indoors or out. And every instrument comes with a lifetime warranty, so you’re covered for life. The way they play today is the way they will play forever.
