Making a little piece of Galicia
- • The brothers run a workshop, a shop and a museum of Iberian bagpipes
- • They make Galician gaitas as well as Iberian and Welsh bagpipes.
- • They were awarded a national craftsmanship prize in 2013
Xosé Manuel senior built his first set of bagpipes, Galician gaitas, in 1939, sparking a rich tradition of research and innovation in bagpipe making, which is continued today in the workshop run by his two sons Álvaro and Xosé Manuel Seivane. Their father passed on his love of bagpipes to his children when they were young. Xosé Manuel first studied agriculture but worked alongside his father in the workshop from the age of 16. Although Álvaro went to Barcelona to study, he took his passion for bagpipes with him and opened a bagpipe workshop over there. Álvaro eventually returned home to Galicia and the two brothers continued to work on the preservation, restoration and creation of bagpipes together.
