•Additional Booking Notes:

Any reputable piper will need at least 20 min prior to the event to correctly tune the instrument (more time is always better). The Great Highland Bagpipe consists of a total of 4 reeds (3 in the drones and 1 in the chanter) that must all be tuned to the specific environment in which they are to be played. This being said, if at all possible, the tuning area should be in the environment in which they are to played as temperature, humidity and even sunlight vs shade can have an effect on tuning.
Also understand that this is a wind instrument that takes a great deal of stamina to play properly. Any reputable piper who plays on a regular basis should have no problem playing for upwards of 20+ minutes, however this 20 minutes is not continuous. Typically a piper will play "sets" consisting of 3 - 4 tunes or perhaps a longer tune such as a piobaireachd . So, if you would like pipe music while guests are being seated or for a longer duration, please understand that there will be short (1-2 minutes) breaks in between sets. Just wanted to give you a heads up-

Should I Salute and if So, When Do I Salute?
If you’re not in the military and are not a veteran of the military, there is no rule that you should salute during a military funeral. Instead of saluting, it’s common to place your hat or your hand over your heart during times when a salute is appropriate.

However, if you do wish to salute, follow the others attending the funeral who are in civilian clothing. As a citizen, if you salute during the wrong time, it’s considered a breach of etiquette. Either don’t salute or follow the guide of other civilians.

If you’re in the military then you’ll salute during the following occasions:

When the hearse passes in front of you
At any time while the casket is being moved including when it is being lowered into the ground
During the gun salute
While Taps is being played

-Directions
-Parking arrangements
-Place to warm-up
-Position of where to play or perform
-Room to play side by side
-Have aisle cleared and doors open
-Have a wet weather option in place if outdoors

We are the sound, lol!

When we play with other Bands and DJ's, we work it out prior to the event, to play in between each other sets.

We keep saying that our last gig or event was so great!
Truth be told - they all are very special and all have levels
of personal meaning.

We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favorite! The guests are always happy and wedding vibes are so great, special and unique.

In college for me -more to share in person as this was deeply moving for me. Be sure to ask me~

At a Scottish Fest one year and there was a band, Hunting McLeod, loved them!

Or - it takes allot of air to play those!

Actually I love to tell people that it takes - heart - to play.
You got to love the Pipes.
Aye!
Yes - Practice too. Tons of practice!
But is so well worth it to see people reactions and their hearts get full,
Totally worth it!

Just an area to stand or to be in position as instructed. No other equipment is needed. The Bagpipes are a commanding instrument by themselves and yet are noble!

We're happy to play outside but ask for shade, a flat level surface and space big enough for 4 people to fit. The Pipes take up 2 spaces to give you a better idea.

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this depending on time. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.

Previous customers would describe us as a great touch added to their event, very professional, fun and loving!
