Hire a Piper or a Band
Do need a single piper for your event? Contact Piper Guss for availability. If she's not available, she can help find a bandmate who can help.
General Pricing Guidelines:
We know that people need to be able to budget for events, so I will review general guidelines and prices.
Here are the things we consider when setting up our pricing:
-
Each gig is considered different and is specialized for the needs of those hiring the piper. There is a base fee, and the items below can increase the price. Depending on the time required and amount of tunes played, base costs typically range between $100 and $200.
-
There is additional pricing for extended travel distance.
-
There is additional pricing for unusual or specialize tune requests. Please understand that the bagpipes have 9 notes, so some tunes do not necessarily transfer easily to the pipes, not that it can't be done.
-
There is additional pricing if the piper will be playing for extended times.
-
There is additional pricing if the piper is needed for a series of events.
-
When a small band is required, there is increased pricing that depends on number of pipers and drummers required.
-
Anything other than a base gig will result in additional pricing.
-
If you want to hire a specific band from the City of Dunedin Pipe Band, you will have to schedule through them, and they have their own pricing system. Please contact the band through their website: or ask Piper Guss for contact information.
