There should be no maybe in your statement. 
I am pressuming you mean Doug who is making pipes today and not Hugh who made pipes, or were made by Sinclair, in the middle part of the 20th century.
I have had my D. MacPherson's for 2 yrs and they are wonderful. They create a great sound that will fill a room with warmth. You will hear the bass and tenors with neither being more dominant.
I like the fact that they are handmade. I like knowing that someone used their hands to make my set of pipes. That someone's eyes were watching the wood turn, looking for imperfections in the wood, and delicately turning a block of wood into a work of art. That someone took so much pride in making my set of pipes that they stamped their name, where it can be seen, on the middle and top bass sections. Finally, that my set is so special that it has a number stamped on the lower bass section.
Also, Doug is great to work with. His customer service has been above and beyond my expectations. He has always answered my questions and usually right away.
Cheers!
Jake
