Hire a piper...

If you've never heard the bagpipe in person and up close, it is hard for me to
describe the astonishing affect it has on you, it's power, and awe striking sound!
Truely an astonishing experience! You must at least, once in your life, make an
effort to hear one in person some day!

My Piping Experience:

I have piped for several occasions: A highschool graduation cerimony,
where I and my partner played our pipes both simutaniously in a mini-band
configuration for 15 minutes straight for an audiance of about 1,400 people.
Several wedding receptions, either piping in the couple or playing for them at
the front table. At church functions, piping as a side attraction or as a sing
along. At events such as the Pine Cone Festival, in Twin Peaks, The Art's &
Wine Festival in Arrowhead, and several "for charity" events with the Inland
Empire Scottish Society. Once, even for a private birthday party, on the
balcony of their lake side home in Crestline.

Great Highland Bagpipes TOO POWERFUL for
you? Do you still love the sound of Scottish
bagpipes but don't want to end up needing a
hearing aid? Is your event in a small gathering
room and you are afraid the "Big Boys" are too
big for your needs? Well, take a listen to the

You will never forget the awsome effect, as the piper
marches into your gathering, playing tunes of your
choice (see main page for tune selections) or you can
let the piper call on his experience and play tunes
appropriate for the moment. These pipes are VERY
loud and should not be played in small gathering rooms,
large cathedral halls and out door events are best!
