Reviews & Testimonials
_________________________
Brian Bigley has helped make my dream a reality. I searched and shopped around for an instructor as well as a pipe maker. I was fortunate to find both in Brian.
His workmanship is beautiful and efficient. His instruction is thorough, flexible, and patient.
I couldn't be happier that Brian Bigley is my pipe maker and my instructor.

Being a musician is all about having the right tools to make you as successful as possible. When I decided to try learning the Ullieann pipes, I found what I thought was a cheap practice set online, and became very frustrated at my slow progress.
I was referred to Brian for his budget practice set. He made and shipped in a very timely manor, and once it was in my hands, I found I was able to play a really rough tune straight of the box, something I could’ve never done on the cheaply made knock off I had accidentally purchased before.
Brian makes great instruments, and if I ever decided to upgrade, I’m going straight to him.
