How did John Elliott die?

John Elliott, the owner of G1 Reeds passed away suddenly. He was officially pronounced dead on Friday, April 21, 2023. Many people were extremely devastated by the news of his passing.

G1Reeds.com reported the passing of its owner Elliot on its social media page and the statement reads,

Who was John Elliott?

John Elliott was the proprietor of G1Reeds, a business service in Fife, Scotland, which was established in 2010 and grew into one of the leading chanters- and reed-making enterprises. He was from Ballingry, Fife, United Kingdom and he lived in Kirkcaldy, Fife.

Within a few years, G1 rose to the top of an industry that was fiercely competitive and kept growing. Inveraray & District won the 2017 World Championship while using the company’s chanters in 2017, only seven years after its establishment.

Elliott studied piping under the legendary Dysart & Dundonald / Ballingry School teaching system established by the late Pipe Major Bob Shepherd. At Benarty Primary School, he received his initial instruction from Shepherd.

John had over 18 years of expertise in creating reeds, chanters, and other pipe band equipment to the highest standards.

He is known for his unforgiving ear and will take nothing less than the best. G1 Reeds began producing bagpipe reeds in 2010 but has since expanded to produce a variety of bagpipe goods.

Inveraray and District and many other elite bands are using our most recent invention, G1 platinum pipe chanters, at the top of grade one.  

Elliott joined the Grade 1 Dysart and acquired chanter reedmaking expertise while working for R.T. Shepherd & Son for 17 years before leaving to launch his own company. G1 Reeds now employs more than 10 people and has served as an example to other reedmakers startups.
