Canadian Forces
"Pipe Major" in the Canadian military is also an appointment not a rank. Pipe Majors are appointed by the unit Commanding Officer after consulting with the Supervisor of Music (Directorate of History and Heritage - 7). The Pipe Major's insignia (a four-bar chevron with bagpipe badge) is usually surmounted with the appropriate rank badge.
Most Pipe Majors in the Canadian Forces are responsible for regular force volunteer strength bands or primary reserve bands.
