The Name
The name of the collective “Maket” originates from Al Lahun in Egypt over 3000 years ago and refers to the first named piper in history, a woman named Lady Maket. Her name was inscribed on the side of her sarcophagus and her pipes were found buried along with other grave goods in the burial. (Source: Jeannie Campbell MBE, Bagpipe News).
