Sheldon was great! Very timely, excellent bagpiper, very communicative, easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a bag piper on the cape or islands!

Sheldon was prompt, pleasant, and played beautifully. Giving my mother a wonderful Celtic send off. Sheldon gave me options of what he would play, and he orchestrated that so respectfully, and professionally. We were very appreciative of his talent with the bagpipes.

Sheldon arrived early in full traditional Scottish Regalia. He played what had been discussed and his bagpipe tunes were excellent.

It was a beautiful day but 85 degrees and so hot but Sheldon played through the heat and welcomed guests at the front entrance to Eastwardho. He did great . We have had bag pipes at both of our kids weddings as we are both Scottish and Irish. Thank you

Sheldon was wonderful, his playing was great, and his communications with me were quick and professional. He arrived in plenty of time, picked a perfect spot, and played all the tunes I asked for. The people who arrived for the funeral service were thrilled to be greeted by a piper.

My siblings and I hired Mr. Hamblin for our father’s retirement party and he absolutely exceeded our expectations! Great communication leading up to the event, prompt arrival, and did a wonderful job engaging with the crowd. We couldn’t have been happier with his performance and would recommend his talent to anyone interested. Thanks again Mr. Hamblin!

Pipe Major Sheldon was fantastic! He added a beautiful musical and cultural touch to our wedding on Cape Cod. It was important to me to have a bagpiper for our wedding to honor my late grandparents. My grandmother was a proud Scottish lady and she would have loved this. Thank you for playing beautifully!

Funeral•Reviewed on September 28, 2024•From Duxbury, MA

Pipe Major Hamblin was the consummate professional when he played at my Mother-in-Law’s funeral services. He was incredibly prompt, professional, and courteous in our communications. P/M Hamblin treated everything with dignity and played great selections well, while accommodating our own requests. He looked great, was prompt and self-managed. My family and I highly recommend Pipe Major Hamblin.

Mr. Hamblin arrived early and added so much to the spirit of a very sad occasion. "Amazing Grace" at the end of the service was so comforting. Communication before the event was excellent. We're very glad he was with us.

I hired Sheldon to play at my daughter’s wedding in Portsmouth, RI. Sheldon was very easy to deal with. The communication was perfect. Sheldon showed up in plenty of time. We talked for a little and he began playing. He is very talented and played so many Scottish favorites. I heard many compliments about his playing. We were all very happy with Sheldon’s performance and professionalism. I would certainly hire him again. If you are thinking of having pipes at your special occasion, I would recommend Sheldon.
