3 Reasons a Bagpiper may be the Perfect Fit for Your Event

Whether you’ve already decided to bring a touch of Scotland to your event or are still trying to decide on the type of musical entertainment that would provide the best fit for your shindig, a Berkeley bagpiper or a San Jose bagpiper may just be what you’re looking for.

The locals of the San Francisco Bay Area have loved Scottish culture for years, as the largest Scottish Games in the United States, held every Labor Day in Pleasant on, can attest. For anyone who has attended the games, the sound of the bagpipes is both alluring and unique.  Here are three reasons why a bagpiper may just be the perfect fit for your event.

1)    Whether your event is jubilant or somber, a bagpiper from San Jose or Berkeley will be sure to have the appropriate range of songs in his or her repertoire. The bagpipes lend to strong emotions very well, regardless of which end of the spectrum you’re dealing with.
2)    Thanks to the bagpipe drone, which is a pipe that produces a constant, unchanging note throughout the performance, a bagpiper provides a more complex sound than most other wind instruments. Because of this, a bagpiper at your event will almost lend a feeling of a one-man-band!
3)    Who doesn’t like “Amazing Grace?” Any bagpiper worth his salt, whether from Berkeley or San Jose, is sure to know “Amazing Grace,” which is one of the most popular, and certainly one of the most emotional, songs of all time. And it sounds great on the bagpipes!

For these reasons, and for so many reasons not mentioned, consider hiring a bagpiper for your next event in need of a musician.
