Sheldon was excellent to work with! He was responsive to us when we were making plans before the event and his performance was amazing after our wedding ceremony ended. We highly recommend Sheldon to anyone looking for a bagpiper!

Sheldon was superb. He made himself available on short notice, was very communicative prior to the gig, arrived early, and was a fantastic piper. Great sound, very impressive outfit, and most accommodating. I wiould highly recommend him for any event or occasion. Andy Pickett

Sheldon played wonderfully, even though the rain poured down and he had a challenging situation on/near the beach! He was professional, courteous and very accommodating in our song choices and timing requests. He went out of his way to help us pick the right type of songs (even emailed us files so that we could hear his music). He was quick to reply to questions during planning and performed just as we had hoped. Thank you, Sheldon!!!

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding ceremony! Our family and friends truly enjoyed hearing you play and it made our day so special. Waiting in the limo and listening to the pipes started off the ceremony in such an exciting way for myself and my bridal party. George and I both enjoyed working with you and would enthusiastically recommend your services to anyone interested in having pipes played at their event.

Private Party•Reviewed on July 5, 2008•From Norwell, MA

I Found Sheldon Hamblin to be very personable & he was willing to walk(without complaint) a piece down a dirt road when we ran out of parking spaces.I just would have prefered that he could have played more tunes we might have recognized. My parents said that they would have liked to have heard more "lively tunes iunstead of the slower,sadder ones" he chose to play. All in all, his performance made my parents' 60th wedding anniversary a most memorable one!!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 12, 2007•From West Harwich, MA

Pipe Major did a great job with little instruction. He came marching in from down the lane as requested. He figured all of this out without seeing the location prior. I would definitely recommend him for any event!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 21, 2008•From Dennis, MA

Mr. Hamblin provided the perfect pipe music for our wedding and was great (easy) to work with! The music was exactly wht we asked for and then some, and my Scottish father leaned over right before we walked down the aisle and said 'my dad would have loved this!' Mr. Hamblin even had to deal with our pain of an event planner at the venue, and did so well with this that I didn't even know there was a problem. :) I will definitely recommend him in the future.

Very professional, reliable, and knowledgeable about bagpipe music from Irish and Scottish culture. He was helpful and performed perfectly for our ceremony as well as the cocktail hour.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on April 12, 2008•From Pembroke, MA

Sheldon was awesome! There were a dozen or so people at our party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed not only his performance, but his knowledge of Scottish and Irish history as it relates to bagpiping. My son couldn't have been more surprised and was so pleased, the smile on his faced lasted for some time. Sheldon also provided Sean with Scottish catalogs which Sean has been devouring. Some relatives were skeptical about my having a bagpiper for a child's party, but when they left they agreed it was wonderful and were very pleased by Sheldon's music and performance.
