Explanation:
Przez analogię do tamburmajora (drum major). Choć pipe major i drum major to bardzo podobne funkcje:

http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_band
więc ostatecznie i tego pierwszego można by nazwać tamburmajorem (tamburmajor od dud?)

dyrygent/ dyrektor dud szkockich


Explanation:
dyrygent dud szkockich-

The Pipe Major is the director of bagpipe music in a Scottish or Irish pipe band. Like Drum Major, the position of Pipe Major is derived from British Army traditions. As in the case of Drum Major, the Pipe Major is a position in any Scottish regiment.

Whether it is a civilian or military pipe band, the Pipe Major is generally responsible for the following:
Band administrative work
Selection, compilation and arrangement of tunes for the band's repertoire
Acting as a musical director and leading band rehearsals
Co-ordination of the band's performance schedule
Conducting and arranging for solo performance at weddings, funerals, dinners, etc.
Training learning and beginning pipers

musze jednak porawic dla lepszego zrozumienia w jezyku polskim= pipe major= dyrygent, lub organizator muzyczny orkiestry dud szkockich- moze tak lepiej.Lepsze okreslenie na 'Major(ang)', moze nawet byc 'Major' -jak w oryginale.
