There is an early photo of Billy Pigg from 1924 in the Cocks Collection at
http://www3.northumberland.gov.uk/catal ... 15-038.jpg
In this year Cocks had been involved in organising a Learner's Competition,
and he had made a set of pipes which was offered as the prize.
Cocks notes - with the photo - that Billy won this, having played for 3 1/2 years.
Do any experts in identifying old pipes from grainy photos know if the photo is of Billy playing this prize set, or another set?
It would be nice if we could say definitively if this is the photo of Billy with his first competition trophy.
