Professional Pipers

Robert we should be charging more, I was recently at a wedding and the chocolate fountain cost more than my services.

I am not a piper! But I have had to contract for the services of a few pipers in the past.

Here in Southern California the rates are generally by the hour with it being $150 to $200 per hour plus transportation costs.

I also did a short google and found these sites that should be of interest.

I think $250 and up is about right.

Unfortunately, I've heard guys playing gigs who should be wearing a mask and carrying a note and gun when they go to collect the check, but that's neither here nor there.
