The Real Deal

I am a bagpiper, having played for many years, and know good piping when I hear it. I go to piping events regularly and hear lots of pipe band and soloists. Ted is the real deal. Excellent piper who provides great entertainment. He communicates well, is punctual and was perfect for family event. I highly recommend Ted.

About

I am an experienced musician with experience in all types of events. I have played for special events for over a decade. My rate structure is based upon a flat fee for any local event (louisville, KY) for up to an hour commitment. Additions to te base fee is only required in the event that my on-site time commitment exceeds one hour, or for travel outside the Louisville Metro area. I am prompt and professional and am an experienced piper and piping instructor, not a beginner or a student piper.
