Bagpipe Player Reviews (Updated Nov 2024)

We had a fabulous experience! Harry was prompt, hiking up to our party in the mountains. He had excellent communication with me and took care to make sure the performance was curated just right. The price was more than fair. Highly recommend to all?!!

Michele Warnock, USC Program, Topanga CA, Nov 2, 2024

Harry and his team did a fantastic job on an event. I had the pleasure of working with them on, they really brought a special element to the event and were true professionals. I hope to work with Harry and his group in the future they have phenomenal talent and bring some real enthusiasm with them.

Absolutely excellent. On time and professional. Definitely in my speed dial for any future events.

Pam Edmiston, Christ Lutheran Church Santa Clarita, CA, September 3, 2024 

   Harry was fantastic…we have been using him at our Country Club for years for golf events and always adds a nice touch. He is professional and always on time. I would definitely would recommend him for anyone looking to get bagpipes for an event or party!
Trevor Raffaul, Events Director, Wilshire Country Club, Los Angeles, CA, September 5, 2024 
 
    Harry was incredible!! He worked with the organist at my church to make my dream of walking up the aisle to Highland Cathedral come true, and even played for the guests in the courtyard afterward. Communication leading up to the event was excellent. On top of all that, he’s just a cool guy and a nice person. I’d give an extra star if I could!
Caroline Paxton, Bride, Manhatton Beach, CA, Aug 24, 2024
 
  Harry was amazing! Great communication prompt and courteous responses, ease of catering to our event and exceptional bagpiping skills. He was entertaining and hilarious as well as professional and true to traditions. Is a must for all special occasions.
Lisette Morales, Whittier, CA, Aug 17, 2024 
 
   Harry Farrar was absolutely amazing! He was prompt and professional with all of his email responses and went above and beyond our expectations to fulfill one of my mom’s final wishes. After playing Amazing Grace at the church, he then went over to our venue so that he could play his beautiful bagpipes for all the guests arriving at the venue. It was really spectacular and made everybody feel really super special. There should be no hesitation in booking Harry Farrar’s services. Absolutely the best
Marie B., Los Robles Greens, 1000 Oaks, CA, Aug 17, 2024
 
 Harry was fantastic! Not only is he quick in response but very knowledgeable! Day of, he arrived early and played as our guests arrived for our wedding! Thank you Harry! Such a special surprise for our guests.

Clair Hines Ojai California June 27, 2024

He was great! Personable, great music and arrived early. No stress worrying if he would be there on time. Third time we have had him play for us. Very satisfied every time!
Joy Shreves, Eternal Valley Cemetery, Santa Clarita, CA  -June 30, 2024

We hired Harry to bagpipe during our Baraat, we weren’t sure how it would go since a Baraat is a traditional Indian ceremony and doesn’t normally feature bagpipes but Harry was very open to it from the start and did an excellent job integrating with the other musicians and all our guest loved it. It really added a unique element that made our Baraat so much more fun and memorable for us and we are so glad we hired him.
Nate, “Baps”, Chino Hills, CA, June 28, 2024

Having bagpipes at me father’s funeral was part of a fine send-off for our WWII hero. As Irish-Americans, we were honored to have this fine (very well-versed) piper helping make our ceremony even more beautiful. The warmth of the pipes were an added blessing for a fine send-off. We highly recommend this talented piper.
Thomas Flynn, LA National Cemetery, CA. June 5th, 2024
 
  Harry was amazing !! We always love having him bag for Paddy Murphy. If you need any bag pipe playing they are the ones to go to for it. Love them and their amazing personalities.
Luke Peterson, Sigma Chi UCLA, Westwood, CA. June 3rd, 2024
 
  Needed a Drum Major to bring the proper stately feel to the memorial for our good friend. And Harry did that in spades. Willing and easy to work with, and perfectly attired for our special event – he was perfect.
Sean Burke, Warner Brothers, Studio City, CA. May 30, 2024
 
   Hired Harry last minute for a senior prank at my school. He did an incredible job and I couldn’t be happier with his service! Highly recommend!
Sophia Parra, Senior HS Student,Santa Clarita, CA. May 22nd, 2024
 
  Harry is a consummate professional. He delivered exactly as expected.
James LoCoco North Hills,CA May 5, 2024

Keith B.. Burbank, CA April 27
 

Harry’s piping was a beautiful and special part of my father’s funeral. Harry was extremely professional and courteous. It was a pleasure working with him.

Alison, San Fernando, CA  April 16, 2024
 
  Harry Farrar did a fabulous job as bagpiper for my husband’s memorial service at Forest Lawn in Glendale. He arrived on time, dressed in full Scottish attire right down to his tasseled shiny shoes. Harry made an impressive entrance and played beautifully. People are still talking about his appearance and performance. He definitely made the service for my husband extra special. Harry was kind and considerate and I would certainly recommend his services to others wanting an extra special Scottish touch to their celebration of life, wedding or other event.
Eva Murray, Glendale, CA April 27, 2024
 
Harry’s performance added so much to our grandfathers burial. Harry was communicative, pleasant, on time, and a very good musician. Would absolutely hire again. The start of Danny Boy is what got my tears going, my grandfather loved that song.
Caitlin Streeter. Santa Monica, CA, April 10
 
I had such a memorable experience working with this team of musicians. They were ready to play the second we exited the church and they played beautifully. It was like they were performing with angels. Their attire was fantastic, they were filled with joy and I was in awe! A lifetime highlight in musical ability and performance style. They tip the scales for even 5 stars. They are the upper echelon of professionalism, and are five star all the way. I strongly recommend and no need to fret your decision once you sign up. They will be there, early, in good moods, spreading l cheer through music. I’m grateful I crossed their path. I am sure everyone else would feel the same.
Vivi Stafford, MD April 9th
 
Harry was so wonderful and very easy to communicate with. He showed up right on time, played a ton of awesome songs. He made my Dads 60th birthday truly special. Highly highly recommend!
David Smith, Santa Clarita Mar 9th
 
Harry did a great job with my mom’s funeral. He had a good range of hymn selections and his timing for the service was well done.
Rebecca , Oak Park, Mar 16th
 

  I cant say enough about Harry and his whole family. Im so grateful to have found him 3 years ago and his wife, Amanda, and son, Harry have played for my St. Patricks Day celebrations the past two years… They are always the life of the party, and everyone looks forward to their music so very much. This year, his daughter Cassidy joined in our special day at a new venue to honor my dad at the year of his passing at a fundraiser for the Gary Sinise foundation to raise money for our veterans and first responders. Once again, they were the life of the party and everyone raved about them! Their authenticity always makes the day, but this year they played a special one for my dad with Danny Boy and I will remember it always. They are so kind and lovely to be around and I cant imagine March 17th without them!
Megan McNulty Van Nuys, CA Mar 17th

Graveside tribute to my Mother –
Harry played beautifully for my 92 year old Mothers funeral! I was almost embarrassed to ask if he could play “You are My Sunshine “. Harry said yes I can play that and it was extra special as each child in our family arrives into this world we sing that and now we sang back to the one who started that family tradition.
Mary March 18, 2024
 
What a fantastic addition to our annual Saint Paddy‘s day party! Everyone said this was the highlight of the evening, and we are so looking forward to seeing them again next year!
Cynthia Panagotacos-Obryan March 17, 2024
 
Extremely pleased with Harry’s performance! His flexibility and willingness to accommodate our scheduling challenges were greatly appreciated. Harry’s experience helped guide our timing and collaboration with the other musicians at the Church. My Family and I have received many compliments and rave reviews on the profoundly beautiful music that the bagpipes added to my Dad’s services. We are VERY HAPPY with the decision we made to hire Harry!
Trish T March 09, 2024
 
I booked Harry for our clubs Saint Patrick’s Day event and everyone loved having him. Definitely recommend him for anyone who needs bagpiper services for their event. And will be using his services again.
Dan Fagan Mar 19, 2024
 
Harry was amazing – prompt, kind, and moved all of us with his playing at a beloved family members memorial service. 10/10 recommend him!
Amanda Plamondon Feburary 4, 2024
 
Dear Harry, Thank you so much for taking the time to come and play your beloved bagpipes for my Dad’s service. It meant so very much to my family and myself to have you there and it added just the right touch. My Dad loved the bagpipes and “Amazing Grace” was always his favorite. So thank you so much for being there.
Jennifer Lawson Feb 28, 2024
 

Harry, We cannot thank you enough for your part in my father’s funeral. We all felt overwhelmed and immersed with your beautiful presence and bagpipes. It was truly unforgettable! Thank you so very much.

We needed someone to play the bagpipes at a veteran’s event. I found Harry Farrar on the internet. He turned out to be a terrific piper. He player perfectly and showed up on time. We had him play taps and Amazing Grace. We had nothing but positive responses. I highly recommend Harry Farrar if you need a piper.
Herbert Thau, MTA Los Angeles County Dec 26 2023
 
On behalf of Forest Lawn, please accept our sincere thanks. You and your bagpiper team were a HIT on Veterans Day at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills. Event after event we can always count on you, Harry. You make our events extra-special. We appreciate your talents and professionalism. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
Tom Smith, Director Public Relations Forest Lawn – Glendale CA, December 10, 2023
 
 We hired Harry the Bagpiper for my sisters Celebration of Life. He listened to what we had in mind and offered wonderful suggestions and it worked out beautifully. He was a welcome addition to the tribute, and I know that my sister would’ve been very pleased, as were we. Thank you Harry. I highly recommend his services.
G. Morrison, Rose Hills – Whittier CA, October 7, 2023
 
 Harry played the bagpipe for us at our annual Cops N’ Cruisers Car Show this past Sunday (09/10/2023) near the Simi Valley Police Department. He did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Harry and he sounded good and was extremely professional and easy to work with.
Jessica – Simi Valley Police Department, September 10, 2023
 
What an experience e to have Harry and his wife Amanda perform at our event. It was BEAUTIFUL!! So many in attendance after the ceremony spoke of Izzy that sang the national anthem and of the wonderful bagpipes played by Harry. What a professional.
Jeff Von Molt Aug 30. 2023
 
The bagpipes playing amazing grace were not only a tearful moment but a beautiful touch to my father’s funeral. Very talented and well done performing Amazing Grace and other traditional Catholic Irish songs. Thank you so much for making my dads funeral special and touching with the beautiful music that we will never forget and hold in our hearts.
Courtney Vickery Aug 12, 2023
 
A Touching Moment Harry played at a memorial service for our dear friend. She was interred in the Memorial Garden at her church to the tunes Going Home and Amazing Grace. It was a touching moment and memory we now get to keep forever when we think of our friend. Thank you Harry.
Dennis, C. Woodland Hills, August 5, 2023
 
From the first phone call until the final notes rang out, Harry was a pro. He arrived early and stayed late. He even jumped in and entertained while the priest arrived late. Total class. Much appreciated. Use him you will be happy you did.
Scott Alexander August 04, 2023
 
 I met with Mr Farrar at Calvary… I met with Mr Farrar at Calvary Cemetery doing my funeral service I was directing for a military Airforce service. Mr Farrar performance is very professional with great grace and leavening his mark to comfort families hearts with his bag piper instrument. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you.
Dennis P. Los Angeles, CA August 3, 2023
 
Was on time and ready to go! Very personable and did a fabulous job for my husband’s funeral
Michelle Waddell July 31, 2023 Corona, CA
 
We had Harry come down to San Clemente for my Son’s wedding. He played the Pipes welcoming our guests as they arrived. I’m Scottish and have a good ear for good bagpipe playing…Harry was amazing…arrived early…and stayed for photos after the ceremony. I highly recommend Harry for any event…very friendly and personable. 5 Stars…and then some
Steve- July 23, 2023 San Clemente, CA
 
We hired Harry Farrar (Bagpiper For Hire) for my Uncles memorial last Sunday. Not only was his playing superb, he came dressed in the traditional garb, marched with the procession, and was extremely helpful with suggestions that made the event very special. I would not hesitate recommending him for any event needing a skilled Piper!
Robert Navarro, June 4, 2023
 
We used Harry at our Golf club to kick off the start of the member guest tournament. He was on time and did just what we needed. All 200 players loved it. Thank you Harry for doing such a nice job.
Mike S, Thousand Oaks CA, May 2023
 
Harry is a real professional. He was attentive to details for our daughters wedding.
The bagpipes were a fantastic addition to our ceremony. The Bel Air Bay Club was a perfect setting.
David A. Molloy, May 14, 2023
 
We had a fantastic time celebrating my wife’s 30 birthday thanks to the Bagpipes played by Scottish Bagpipes and Drums. I would highly recommend them at your next celebration. I especially enjoyed learning about the history of the bagpipes and the fact that the bagpipes played at our celebration were made in 1910.
Ethan M., April 24, 2023
 
Harry recently played at my father’s military graveside service. We only had a few weeks to plan the service but Harry was flexible. He had to coordinate with the color guard on the spot. He was very respectful and accommodating. The music was great and his attire was authentic – wool kilt and wool socks too- despite the warm weather. His presence was kind and professional. My dad really wanted bagpipes at his service and Harry fulfilled that wish with excellence.
Cindy Kirk, April 22, 2023
 
Really made our celebration of life very special. He was kind and took the time to listen to our story and played everything perfectly. Thank you.
Alison Martin, Sherman Oaks, April, 2023
 
Was a very nice celebration and your family amazing. Glad to be invited to perform.
Harry is terrific. Not only is he enthusiastic about his craft, he plays the bagpipes wonderfully. We just had him join us at an Employment Development Day and he opened the day by leading the Color Guard and playing the National Anthem. Harry was on time and committed to giving his best. He is, by the way, also very funny – ready with plenty of jokes. Harry is our “go-to” bagpipes player for all our events.
Nadine Curias, Ventura CA, February, 2023
 
I just wanted to reach out and thank you for making my entrance with my dad so beautiful at church on Saturday. I have always loved bagpipes since I was young and it was the most magnificent wedding entrance I could have ever imagined thanks to you!! You were amazing!
Erin Pearce, October 18, 2022
 
Highly Recommend! We hired Harry for an event in which we needed a bagpiper to accompany a color guard. He did an excellent job – very accommodating, reliable, and so easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Clarissa Gonzalez, October 16, 2022
 
Wonderful Bagpipers!! Harry and son helped provide a beautiful ceremony for my brothers burial ceremony. I had chosen a song, and Harry knew a deeper meaning of the song and described it to us. Very touching. Recommended by an old friend. I had chosen wisely. Great players. Great guys.
Matthew MacKelvie, October 13, 2022
 
We loved Harry!! We loved Harry! We hired him for a colleague’s birthday. He arrived on time, shared some fun jokes, and even learned the opening riff to Sweet Child of Mine. The team had a blast. Highly recommend.
SA, September 20, 2022
 
Highly Recommend! Harry was professional, on time and played extremely well.
Princess Karen Cantrell, September 1st, 2022
 
Simply the Best! I cannot rave enough about Harry and his players! Simply the best. True professionals that arrive early and sound amazing. We used them for our graduation. He and his team showed up, I gave them some quick instructions on how to lead the entire procession in AND THEY NAILED IT! Saved the day and such a pleasure to work with! We have used their talents for other events as well. Cannot thank them or recommend them enough!
Julian Gomez, September 1st, 2022
 
I just returned home after taking care of all our friends from England and Sweden 2 full days of after wedding parties and airport runs. Now I am home and taking a deep breath!! Maybe 2!!! Thank you so much, Harry, for being such an important part of my daughter’s wedding. And, thank you both for being such good sports regarding the heat! You and drummer Michael were the stars of the show! I can’t begin to tell you how many compliments I’ve received about your playing from guests at the wedding! I know for sure that Cameron and Anders will carry with them forever memories of you both. I thank you with all my heart for helping to make it a perfect evening. Please extend my gratitude to Drummer Michel. I’ll look forward to hearing from you. Warmest regards
Victoria B. Murray, July 19, 2022
 
Harry Farrar is amazing. His stellar playing of “Amazing Grace,” “Loch Lomond” and “Going Home” on the Bagpipes at a graveside memorial service was deeply moving. On windswept day at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, Harry Farrar enabled all those present to experience peace, comfort and joy.
George, April 19, 2022
 
Harry helped add special memories to my Mother-in-law’s funeral. She loved bagpipes and what a better way to send her on her final journey. Thank you.
BRENDA ULERY, April 8, 2022
 
I hired Harry Farrar’s to play bagpipes to begin and end the memorial service for my departed Husband. The church filled with the bright clear sound. Harry Farrar was easy to book. He was affordable and his music filling the church was unforgettable. Thank you Harry Farrar.
Element of Doubt, Mar 24, 2022
 
Such an incredible experience. They pulled it together for me last minute. They played for my staff who really needed to be uplifted. Thank you again for such a memorial moment.
Kevin J Lilly, Mar 22, 2022
 
Harry and Amanda were AMAZING!!! I surprised my company staff with this special bagpipe treat for St. Patrick’s Day. THEY LOVED IT! It was so fun. and they stayed and took pics with us which all of our other offices were super jealous!! I loved doing business with them as well as they were super flexible and so easy to work with. I would book them again in a heartbeat!
Dennis, Mar 21, 2022
 
Harry the piper and Amanda the drummer were amazing! They were definitely the hit of our party and people are still talking about them. It was so easy to coordinate and they were lovely from start to finish. Will have them again over and over – and all of our friends can’t wait to hear them again 🙂
Megan McNulty, Mar 21, 2022

Samantha Murphy, Mar 19, 2022
 
Harry and his wife were amazing. They made our celebration of life even more special.
Melissa Ryan, Mar 14, 2022
 
I would highly recommend Harry Farrar for any musical services. Harry was a part of my father’s memorial service by providing interludes between speakers with his emotional musical performances of “Going Home”, “Amazing Grace”, and “Irish Eyes”. Harry is talented, professional, and personable. He made sure to communicate with me over the course of the 2 weeks leading up to the service to assure scheduling and explain his abilities. Harry provided his costs upfront with options, showed up early, waited patiently between performances, performed beautifully while prompting an emotional response from the audience, and had a great attitude of support while observing a tender experience for me and my family. His contribution to our memorial schedule really impressed everyone in attendance.

Simone, Mar 2, 2022
 
Harry was not only very early, he played so so so beautifully! Highly recommend!
Sara Steyn, Feb 25, 2022
 
Harry played at my mother’s funeral. I told him when and where it was taking place and I did not have to worry about making sure he would be on time, or that he might get lost. He made suggestions, which was very helpful as I already had a lot on my plate. He was waiting for the party when we arrived. He was very patient when we had to wait for the last few family members to arrive at the burial site. When everyone did arrive, he played beautifully and gave my mom the best send off she could have asked for as we celebrated her life and said our final goodbyes.
Elizabeth, Feb 18, 2022
 
Great Bagpiper. Harry and his bagpipe added so much to our funeral service. He was accommodating and very easy to work with. I would definitely hire him again!

Excellent and authentic Scottish experience, Harry is a wonderful piper and has brought an excellent and authentic Scottish experience to many of our Burns’ suppers and parties. I highly recommend him.
Jennifer Chatham, Feb 13, 2022
 
We were incredibly lucky to find Harry! My brother passed away suddenly and Harry graciously agreed to play at his memorial service in Los Angeles on short notice. He played both traditional Scottish tunes and a rousing rendition of Yankee Doodle Denny at our request. It was perfect!
Carter D, Feb 12, 2022
 
He was on time, professional, and looked great. The 2 songs he play sounded amazing. Great guy and loved working with him.
Joshua C, Jan 25, 2022
 
Extremely professional & accommodating. Harry was extremely professional. My family and I were looking for a bagpiper for my grandfather’s funeral, and Harry was exactly who we needed. He played beautifully, and even in the rain for us. When he concluded playing, the rain fell harder, almost like a round of applause, and I can’t help think that was my grandpa showing his approval. Harry was extremely accommodating, and we would love to use him again, hopefully at a happier occasion in the future
Lacie Barker, Jan 2, 2022
 
Thank you for such a beautiful day! Sharing your daughter and your patience with our family who all loved the experience. So Unlike me to fall apart and let go of it all, but I did. I was worthless on this subject. It was so meaningful to me how you had a knowing and an organizational ability that saw me through. Never mind the amazing performance we all were so touched by. Your daughter so cute and professional on that Flute such a meaningful blessing you shared with us. Family matters so much to us. Perfect! I hope your party was as lovely for you as you were to us.
Donna McRae, Browns Canyon, CA February 27, 2022
 
Thank you so much again for everything you did for my family today. We all deeply appreciated you being there. You have no idea how special that was to all of us, my grandpa would have absolutely loved it.
Malcolm Family- Burbanks CA – Dec 30 2021

Kudos to bagpiper extraordinaire

Kudos to bagpiper extraordinaire, Harry Farrar! He played at a wedding I recently coordinated. The bride was very late but Harry hung in there and he played beautifully. If you need a bagpipe player,, Harry is your guy.. Thanks Harry.
Tina McConnel – Sherman Oaks CA – December 2021
 
Wonderful experience all the way around for my son’s law school graduation party. The bagpipes and drum began playing for my party from down the street so everyone was surprised and excited by the time they marched into our backyard in their kilts. In between songs, Harry engaged with the group, told jokes and kept all the 25 year olds enthralled. So much fun! Highly recommend.
Denice Hamilton, Altadena CA, May 30, 2021
 
Harry was the consummate professional and did a fantastic performance, he carried his talent from our graveside service to the celebration service and played honorably for us. His compassion was genuine and so greatly appreciated by the family. We asked him on very short notice and he complied and performed beyond expectations.
James Estes, Bakersfield Ca, May 5, 2021
Harry was amazing at our wedding! Professional, easy to work with, friendly and punctual. Highly recommend him.

Dana Stump, Long Beach Ca,, May 16, 2021
 
Harry, his lovely wife, and his amazing daughter came to my school’s special event and entertained our student body and staff for over 15 minutes. Later that day I had Several people tell me how much they enjoyed their performance. It made me feel great about my decision to hire them. Harry is an excellent piper. I can say that with confidence because I am a semi professional musician myself! His wife played the bass drum and gave interesting information about Ireland. Their daughter was an outstanding Celtic dancer. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Mark Holtom, Scot Avenue School, Whittier, May 29, 2019
 
Harry. Thank you for putting on such a fine performance. Many people commented that they enjoyed your playing and the effect it had on the overall experience. It went all too quickly and if I did not have responsibilities at the event, I would have loved to chat and have you play more. Thank you also for bringing your music stand – as I suspected, it turned out to be indispensable for several speakers – and for coordinating the piece with Stephanie. The professionalism you showed through your clear and prompt communication and by coming early made producing the event easier for me.
Catherine Somer, Pacific Palisade, April, 2019
 
Having you at the cemetery on Friday truly made the entire service as nice as it was. Everyone was really glad you came. If you need any recommendations, I would be glad to give you some.
Dr. Barbara Galyen, Oakwood Cemetary, October 2017
 
I recently had Harry play Amazing Grace on his bagpipe at my dad’s funeral. Being that my dad’s family is all from Scotland it was one on the highlights of my dad’s service. This was a last minute appointment and Harry came through with flying colors, on time, dressed perfectly, and played fantastic. I would highly recommend him, 5 out of 5 stars.
Ron Sutherland, June 2017
 

Harry A quick note to thank you for being a part of our family celebration! The look on my mom’s face as she heard the music and saw you and your group coming in was absolutely priceless! The music sounded great and I couldn’t have been happier. If you ever come across anyone that wants to talk to someone about hiring, you pls give them my contact and have them call me directly. Thanks again!
Pat Hughes, Pasadena, February 2017

My family hired Harry as a surprise for my Dad’s 60th birthday party and couldn’t have been happier! Harry was accommodating and easy to set everything up with. He helped come up with ideas to make it more special and a big surprise, starting to play outside the party and marching in. He stuck around for pictures and even played a few requests. Harry was the life of the party for my Dad and all our guests!
Shannon Grimes Willett , Arcadia, July 2017

We have worked with Harry for various events for quite a few years now, and will continue to do so as long as he agrees to! Always a joy to have his talent and wonderful personality at the Club.
Julien Fenton, GM, The Town Club, Pasadena, September 2017

Wow!!! Harry and his team took our charity golf tournament to new heights. Our tourney was scheduled for 9/11 and we simply could not start the day without appropriately commemorating those lost on that fateful day. After a moment of silence, Harry and his team led us in a soulful rendition of America The Beautiful. Not a dry eye was seen after this incredible tribute to those lost.
Switching gears, our golfers were marched onto the course by Harry’s team playing a traditional Scottish tune that truly added an element of excitement for our 200 golfers. We are looking forward to bringing Harry to our tournament next year and have absolutely no hesitation highly recommending him for your event!!
Ryan Hyman- Director of Institutional Advancement -YULA BOYS HIGH SCHOOL- September 2017

Your melodies were most uplifting and moving and so appropriate for the 9/11 memorial recognition. Added a real classy touch to the affair!

In the world of SEARCH and the game of maximizing a site SEO, there are countless companies that sell ranking positions. Two are at the top. This includes Trustpilot.com and Google Maps for business. But YELP is not the same. Yelp charges the advertiser a high price to be listed. AND then cancels out legit competing businesses from the area search. Unfortunately, this is not good for Bagpipe Player Reviews

Interestingly, these competing businesses often are BETTER than Yelp’s promoted business. Additionally, the consumer suffers. As a result, because of Yelp reviews, the user gets a lobsided result as to the best choice for that search request in that area. Gigsalad  Weddingwire and The Bash are at least honest and clearly let the user know that the bagpipers displayed on the roster are paying for the ranking and posting. 

Additionally, there are a host of service promotion companies that are not USA based but instead offer countries like the UK and Canada a way to list United States professional bagpipe players easily with the confidence of a home country listing entity. Entertainers Worldwide is an example. With all this said for the best most reliable professional bagpiper for hire in Southern California, Call Harry at +1 (818) 716-7522

In conclusion, reviews matter. Authentic reviews are what customers want for a knowledgeable decision process. Yelp is not what  it seems.
