Mark was great! He was early to the venue and thought to ask if the party was a surprise. When he learned that it was, he tuned his instrument outside so he wouldn't be overheard by the guest of honor. He looked great and played very well. Mark helped make this party a tremendous success!

On behalf of my family, I want to thank Mark for being there for us and making the celebration of life for my father so special. Mark played out front as people arrived as this was customary for a piper to call family and friends to the church. When Mark played Amazing Grace, there was not a dry eye in the house! If anyone that I know, ever needs a piper, Mark will be the one that I recommend!

I wish I could give him 100 stars. His music was so beautiful. There is nothing like the bagpipes on a cliff at sunset, especially the way Mark played them. All of my guests fell in love with the bagpipes after hearing Mark. The wedding started an hour later due to an uninvited guest canceling the invited guests rooms, but Mark did not complain. I really can't thank him enough for making my wedding so very special.

Mark Little quickly & eagerly responded to our requests offering help on planning music selections & accommodating arrangements for the funeral. Everyone attending thought the bagpiping made for a memorable & special event. I'd never hired a musician online. He put my mind to ease that he'd arrive early. Also, I'm familiar with bagpipe tunes, however one that I didn't know the title for I wanted played. He helped me find it as it was one of our favorite melodies (Green Hills of Tyrol). We greatly appreciated that he arrived well in advance of the funeral and worked well with the pastor officiating the funeral. I would hire him again. Thank you Mark.

Mark was early and gave us more than we asked for. He played as people arrived, played the casket to the grave site and then played as people left. You could really tell that Mark cared. His playing was perfect and he got a lot of compliments from family members and friends that attended. He will be highly recommended.

Mark was a blessing. He made the funeral memorable. He was very professional and the way he played amazing grace was wonderful. People who need to hire a piper for any function would be idiots not to hire Mark. We loved him and will strongly recommend him. Thank you Mark for making my choice easy!!!!!

When I was looking at getting a bagpiper for my Son's graduation party, I was drawn to Mark by his Bio. His straight forward approach and wonderful feedbacks from customers might have been enough to make me pick Mark anyway, but the clincher was comparing Mark's playing with other pipers in our area. Mark asked in his bio for clients to compare before making a decision and that is exactly what I did. I have heard my share of good and bad pipers and Mark is way up there in the good category. My suggestion to those needing a piper is to compare first before you decide. Mark made my decision an easy one. Thanks Mark!!!!!!!!

Mark was awesome!!!!!! He showed up early and was very professional. His experience showed in his playing. The playing was very precise and moving. When he finished, you could have heard a pin drop. We will definitely use Mark again. His Bio didn't lie...he is as good as it said. Mark is the one to hire if you ever need a piper. You will not be disappointed.

Mark showed up early, prepared and ready to go for our military Dining Out, despite driving four hours to get here. He was very accomodating with the demands of US Navy tradition, including Parading the Beef and entrance march. He was very familiar with the process and put me at ease, and I have already recommended him to another squadron for their Dining Out. I would strongly recommend him for anyone who needs a bagpiper at a formal event.

Mark is an excellent piper. He arrived early for this big funeral and was very professional. I noticed immediately his attention to detail and thoughtfulness about the service. We requested a lament to be played as the family and friends processed in and his suggestions were good and timely - beautifully done. Amazing Grace as everyone processed out and he went the extra mile and gave us more music to make the service even more memorable. As a former drum major of a pipe and drum corp, I believe I have the credentials to give him the highest marks in musicianship and he could have passed an inspection in the Black Watch. He will be our first choice in the future.

All I can say is wow!!!! Mark can sure play the pipes!!!!!!! He showed up ahead of time and was very professional. His 40+ years of playing the bagpipes was the main reason that I picked Mark and I wasn't disappointed. He is very good and I would recommend him to anyone needing a piper.

Mark was awesome!!!!! As a Police Chief, I have heard many bagpipers. Mark, I must say, is at the top of my list of pipers in the San Joaquin Valley. He played beautifully. We will definitely hire him again over any other pipers in the valley!!!!!!

Mark Little did such a nice job for my mother's funeral service. He was prompt, worked out all the arrangements with the church musician, played beautifully, looked the part, everything. He was very kind and helped with all of the booking arrangements as well. I especially appreciated that he asked questions about my mother beforehand, so that he could make the best music selections.

I don't know how all those 4.5 ratings occurred! I tried to rate all areas a 5! Our piper Mark Little was wonderful! He found sheet music to practice extra songs we thought would be good pre funeral music & post after it was over. He took a personal interest & asked to see the bio we'd written for my nephew, so he could get a feel for the person he was playing for. We loved our piper in all areas of his performance & for his excellent communication!

Mark and his associate Reece really entertained our group, who have often listened to bagpipes in other locations. Mark co-ordinated with me for a dramatic entrance, and the pair captivated our group with lively tunes. Mark and Reece looked very professional and interacted easily with our group. Everyone afterwards has only positive things to say about Mark and his associate.
