Terrific. He endured some torrential rain and never missed a beat. Engaged really well with guests at our HS graduation party. Highly recommended and I'd hire him again without hesitation.

Adam was a complete professional and we will definitely use him again. His communication was impecable before and during the event. He performed at a complex Arlington National Cemetery funeral service with full military honors and was poised, on-time, well dressed, and delivered an outstanding performance. He is experienced performing for Military Services and is familiar with the Military ceremony order of service and protocol, and worked well with thhe photographers, videographers and the ANC staff. Thank you Adam for helping us to honor our loved one!

He arrived on time, played for about 30 minutes in pouring rain before the mass and another 15 minutes in the pouring rain after the mass. He played all the songs we asked for and more.

I highly recommend The Professional Piper, Adam Tianello, for your event. Adam played "Amazing Grace" for my husband's Memorial Service at Arlington National Cemetery on June 23, 2023. He was fantastic! Adam was super professional, perfectly dressed, and easy to talk with. His playing was wonderful and brought tears to my eyes. Adam is super talented , played the bagpipes beautifully, and greatly enriched our service. We thank him for a job well done! You were amazing!!!

Adam was fantastic. He responded quickly to a relatively urgent need for his services and was very accommodating. He is obviously very talented; everyone at the event was impressed with his performance. He and his bagpipes added just the right weight and tone to the service that would have been missed without.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 13, 2019•From Arlington, VA

Adam (The Professional Piper) did a great job playing at the grave site ceremony. He arrived ahead of time and well prepared. His choice of music was very appropriate and he is very familiar with the burial protocol and procedures at Arlington National Ceremony.

Community Event•Reviewed on July 19, 2019•From Takoma Park, MD

Adam Tianello proved to be the perfect bagpiper for our 4th of July parade troupe. He arrived at the event very early (before anyone else), was engaging, professional and accomodating as he practiced with our group, and his bagpiping during the parade was top notch. Wonderful sound, great projection, inspiring selection of music. He was a tireless performer and marcher, despite the heat. We could not be more pleased with Adam!

Funeral•Reviewed on July 31, 2017•From Arlington, VA

Adam was excellent. He was at the columbarium at Arlington Cemetery when we arrived and he was very familiar with the cemetery and the procedures. Everyone at the service remarked on how beautiful the music was. I would highly recommend Adam.

The Professional Piper was amazing! It was a cold, rainy day and Adam stood perfectly still throughout the service. His attire was awesome. It is extremely difficult for me to understand, but the hearse was late arriving which pushed our service back a little bit. Adam was a trooper. He was amazing and I would definitely hire him again!!!!!

The process was easy and quick. Adam was professional and a beautiful bag piper. I was grateful he knew when to start and end, so I didn't have worry about instructing him during the service.

We hired the Professional Piper for our daughter's wedding. Close to the date of the event he let us know that he would be unavailable but had found us a replacement Piper. The replacement was wonderful! Her day was perfect. We would definitely use again.

The Professional Piper was truly a pleasure to have as part of our public event in downtown Washington, D.C. He arrived early, decked out to the nines in his kilt and carrying his pipes, and treated us to a few extra tunes before the event got underway. Very friendly and easy to work with, and exceptionally great value for the fee. I give this guy my highest recommendation.
