Some ideas for having a piper.

The bagpipes are an ancient instrument and have a unique sound that people either love to hear, or love to hate. The most recognizable tune is Amazing Grace, but there are times this tune would not be appropriate to play. I will advise you if you are asking for something that is just not done and why.

I have played at Graduations, Weddings, Funerals, Memorial Services (including at "Ground Zero") and even to "pipe" one of my children into the world! If you know someone leaving for the military, I know all the armed forces tunes...Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines.

I am a Veteran of the War in Iraq myself.
