Donald helped us organise our piper for our wedding. The whole process was so smooth with quick communication the whole time and he was very reasonably priced plus our piper was great! Could not recommend him and his team enough

Donald is a superb instructor. His knowledge, skill and tuition is first class. To be able to play tunes on the bagpipes was a dream of mine from childhood and Donald has made that dream a reality. I can't thank him enough and I would highly recommend!

As a student from Switzerland and so having online lessons with Donald I get many useful inputs from him to understand the pipe and it’s music. To become a good piper is a very far way to go - Donald with his experience, knowledge, patience and motivation skills makes this way as enjoyable as possible. Many thanks, Donald

Complete beginner and I am really enjoying my piping journey so far (8 weeks of lessons). Donald is a clear and patient teacher who balances 'getting things right' before moving on, while at the same time pushing a little to go 'in at the deep end' - and so progress can be made. I really like the lesson structure using the tutor book; no hit and miss teaching here, just good solid tuition that works. I would highly recommend Donald's lessons, and for anyone who is considering learning I'd say 'go for it - it's addictive!'

Donald McKenzie has been teaching my son bagpipes for almost a year, and I have seen a huge difference in his ability in this time. Donald is a really patient and encouraging teacher, and my son always enjoys his lessons and has grown hugely in confidence. I would highly recommend him.

Donald was fantastic for our special day exactly what we asked for. Highly recommend anyone looking for a piper to have at any ocasion. He even went above and beyond and helped the groom with his plaid making sure he was sharp. Many thanks Mr & Mrs Wood.

We were thrilled to have Donald play at our wedding on 25.07.25! From our first conversations, he was so friendly and approachable, making the planning process easy and enjoyable. His music created such a warm and memorable welcome for our guests and the bridal party, adding a truly special touch to the day. We received so many compliments from our guests about how fantastic he was. Thank you Donald for helping make our wedding unforgettable! Beth & Gordon x
