Welcome to Lone Star Piper! PDF Print E-mail

I began my bagpiping career as a Fire Department piper.  I did this because I felt it was important to honor my firefighting brothers and sisters both in life and death.  The sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes, when played correctly, evokes emotions and feelings that most often cannot be expressed by words alone. 

Hiring a bagpiper for your special occasion will make it one to remember.  Let me help you to make your special day or event extraordinary.  I am available throughout the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and the surrounding areas. 

With our online store, we offer a large selection of bagpipes, bagpipe supplies, drums, drum supplies, highland wear and accessories.  Custom orders and products are also available by ordering through the website.
