Eric was wonderful. He played several songs for my mom’s funeral service, which were lovely. He was extremely accommodating and supportive of our family. Many thanks.

Eric was not only a highly skilled piper but personalized the event to degree I had not even imagined. He read a Robbie Burns poem I had selected in a fabulous brogue and did a lovely job of presentation on top of impeccable playing of some great tunes with clean high notes and perfect tune. I have not heard better piping in Scotland where I have visited several times.

Mr. Albert played for my brother's memorial service. I spoke with his wife Krysta several times before the day of the service and she very kindly gave suggestions and ideas based on her and her husbands years of experience. Mr. Albert performed beautifully and exactly as we wished, and my brother received a very moving tribute. I am forever grateful for both Mr. Albert and his wife Krysta for making such an important part of the service go smoothly and wonderfully.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 14, 2011•From Charlotte, NC

Eric was wonderful! he and his wife, Krysta, were helpful and so easy to work with. Eric went out of his way to wear a kilt close to our Hamilton plaid. He assisted us in choosing the perfect music for our wedding march, sending examples ahead of time for us to listen to. Best of all, he was friendly, happy for the newlyweds and their guests, and seemed to have as much fun as we all did!

Eric played Higlhland Cathedral for our daughter's wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! Not only is he an extremely talented muscian, but a professional in every sense of the word. I especially appreciated his prompt responses to emails and phone calls. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone interested in having a bagpiper for their event.

Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on November 28, 2011•From La Crosse, VA

Eric did a fantastic job for our private event! He was very easy to work with and he and his wife were quick to call us to talk through our event and see if they would be a good overall fit. Since he plays both the large and smaller bagpipes it worked out perfectly for our event and all of our customers really enjoyed his music all evening! We look forward to having Eric back for our future events!

Funeral•Reviewed on May 3, 2011•From Charlotte, NC

Eric performed at my dad's funeral this past weekend and did an amazing job. He was asked to start with Amazing Grace near the grave site and then march to a distance where we could still hear him and also hear the pastor throughout the service. He arrived early enough before the start of the service to confirm my instructions. He was perfect. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends. Thank you Eric for your work.

His performance was everything we wanted! It could not have been improved on. We would consider using him for future events.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 18, 2012•From Bend, OR

Eric was very professional and his bagpipe music was a beautiful addition to a Scottish wedding.

The bride wanted Beatles tunes played on the Highland Bagpipes- an impossibility unfortunately, based on the specific tunes she wanted. However I believe she was happy with the pipe tunes we ultimately selected.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 12, 2011•From Cornelius, NC

He met all my expectations and more.It was my mother's 90th birthday. She never moved during the whole time he played. Many people from the party were also excited to be able to have him there. Several were starting to think that they might do something similar in the future.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 29, 2011•From Gatlinburg, TN

Due to unforseen circumstances Mr. Albert was not able to perform at our wedding and reception, but arranged for a very wonderful replacement,Mr. Jon K Shell from Elizabethton,TN. Mr.Shell went above and beyond his duties as the Bagpiper at our Scottish Wedding. He assisted the groom in getting his kilt to perfection. He played wonderful arrays of music that fit the ceremony wonderfully. The song he chose to walk the bride and groom into the reception area was perfect. He also made it feel like he was a big part of our family, which to us now he is. Everyone is still talking about him to this day. I highly recommend this gentlemen for your most important affairs.

Eric was amazing. He performed at our Dad's Celebration of Life memorial, and he exceeded expectations. Was a wonderful addition to our event. Eric was professional, talented and accommodating. He felt like part of the team, and we feel so fortunate to have found him on GigMasters! Thank you, Eric. We give him the highest of recommendations and had a great overall experience with him.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 28, 2014•From Crescent, OR

I contacted Eric to perform at our father's Celebration of Life this summer and we are so grateful we found him! Eric was very accommodating for our needs, kind, caring and extremely talented. Eric was willing to travel the distance from Eugene so we could have the Celebration at our father's favorite summer fishing lake. This made our Celebration sooo perfect! Our father's wishes were indeed exceeded. Thank you Eric for your time and excellent piping!

Eric and his wife, Krysta, had far more experience with funerals than we did so we trusted them.
