Review by Brian D.

FuneralReviewed on March 15, 2026From Newport Beach, CA

Darrell did a wonderful job today. His piping skills are first class. He delivered flawlessly. The timing of his playing was perfectly timed to the funeral service, and his selection of tunes were appropriate to the situation and segued very nicely in a beautiful sequence of tunes of progressively more uplifting music on the return to harbor. This helped harness the power of bagpipe music to uplift the tone of all in the group. Darrell's attire was impeccable. He's a pro-piper and a gentleman. I highly recommend Darrell.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on March 7, 2026From Palm Springs, CA

On Mar 3rd, we honored my husband with a flag-raising ceremony to mark one year since his passing. To have Darrell play the bagpipes—my husband's favorite—was a profound honor. From the haunting beauty of Amazing Grace to the power of Highland Cathedral, including Sky boat, America the Beautiful, and Going Home; the music echoed the spirit of a man who is now soaring high. Darrell was professional, impeccably prepared, and his music turned a challenging day into a stunning, memorable tribute.
