DESCRIPTION:
I have been performing for over 30 years. In that time I have played all over the world, played for U.S. Presidents and Heads of State, Movies, Television and Radio. I am a Professional Open Graded competitor and have won every major prize in the Eastern United States amateur grades as well as multiple prizes in the professional Open Graded contests. Curently, I instruct 6 pipe bands and over 100 solo students. I am also currently the Chairman of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association's Metropolitan Branch. In my long career, I have played over 2500 weddings and numerous parties and corporate events as well as the most sad duty of playing the funerals of the heroes who valiantly gave their lives on September 11th 2001.I am able to get Irish Step Dancers or Scottish Highland dancers for your function as well as small pipes for indoors when the full pipes may be too loud for the more intimate setting. Something to remember when you hire a bagpiper to make your event more special...do you want to hire the student who is learning the tunes or do you want to hire the MASTER PIPER who is doing the teaching? Remember the MASTER PIPER can provide the tunes the way they are supposed to sound, not stuggling through and hoping to get by. Hire the best and you will hire me and the pipers I have working for my agency. I look forward to playing your events regularly for years to come. Many of my clients are repeat clients. I have have done several generations of family parties,weddings and funerals. There is no substitute for sound , performance and quality. Thank you for your interest and I hope I can make your event special!

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Major Martens played wonderfully (and looked resplendent) for our aunt's graveside service. He responded quickly by phone to the bid request, was courteous and knowledgeable during our discussions, and arrived (and departed) in a timely manner. His presence was most comforting and was appreciated by the whole clan. Thank you, Major Martens!
