Overview

I am called the Madpiper for a couple reasons, I can play some wicked bagpipes. I will also travel the distance. Living in Stockton and driving to San Diego or to Washington to play. But I also offer the best bagpipe sound that you only hear in Movies. I play the Highland Bagpipes, Scottish Smallpipes, Irish Bagpipes, Irish whistles and trumpet(for Taps or the Wedding March). I give 100% of my self to every performance, I am one of the top pipers in area. If I am not able to play for you, I know other top pipers that will be able to. My wife also plays the bagpipes, amongst other instruments and we can also play gigs together. On top of that, we also have a cellist and pianist.

He was really nice good sense of humor

He was great very professional and greeted us as soon as he got there. He played beautiful every one loved it as I was burying my brother. Even when my husband ask that question does wear anything under his kilt and he didn't blink a eye and told him why and it surprised him Thank you for the great piper mad Dog

Great experience

Wow... all I can say is Wow! The performance was amazing and he knows his music. After Abe did his music he hung around with our family and friends talking about his Scottish experience. I now consider Abe as a friend and wven family! I can't say enough! My 88 year old paps was in tears the whole hour Abe played!!!

Fantastic

Abe was awesome! He hung out with us after he played and and blended in with our friends and family as if he was family! I am glad the the bagpipe player from Fresno, that I had booked for 6 months, cancelled on me 13 days before the event because Abe followed through and made my dads 88th party a memory forever!

Abe is fantastic!

Very professional. Even being thrown an unintended curveball, Abe did an outstanding job and made our ceremony very special. I sincerely hope to have him play again next year. Thank you Abe! Leigh

Wonderful and responsive

Abe played for my father's memorial service. Abe was so responsive to my texts and phone calls. He was flexible with what we needed. He can also play other instruments which is wonderful. I highly recommend him.

Abe the Madpiper honored QEII!

How wonderful to have a piper play for our staff meeting following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Abe played "The Flowers of the Forest" also know as "The Floo'ers o' the Forest" magnificently - the solo bagpipe version traditionally played at funerals and remembrance ceremonies. You need a bagpipe, the Madpiper is your man.

Authentic Bagpiper

Abe bagpiped a variety of Scottish music for two hours of pure enjoyment. Guests of over 25 were mesmerized and thrilled with his style and professionalism. Thanks Abe. We couldn't not have had a 90th Scottish Birthday Party without you.

Awesome Abe!

Abraham was responsive, prompt, friendly, kind and so easy to work with. He added such a beautiful dimension to our fundraising event at school. He looked great and sounded fantastic. Even our cool senior guy students begin dancing as he played and everyone just enjoyed themselves immensely.

It was fun to play for the students, when the senior class starting dancing and doing a line dance. I knew they enjoyed it, once again it was a lot of fun playing for everyone and thank you for the kind words.
