Duncan S. Moore

Duncan played for our wedding and it was the best ever! Don’t hesitate, just pick Duncan for your event!

Duncan was a fantastic professional throughout the whole process. Excellent communication with us in spite of our plans changing during the 30 day lead time to the party. He showed up on time, and was a big hit. Super nice guy in general as well. If we ever need a piper again for anything else we will definitely ask for Duncan again!

Duncan is great, knows what he's doing, communicates well, and arrives on-time. Highly recommend him!

On time and very professional. Exactly what I requested!

Duncan was absolutely amazing and drew a large crowd at our Saint Patrick’s Day ☘️ party and birthday. Our neighbors all enjoyed his talent and skills.
Duncan also provided a very informative overview of his Bagpipe mechanism and beautiful, and elegant construction. His talent, uniform, and music were Outstanding and our event will go down in the books as one of the best. Thank you, Grand Piper Duncan. Cheers

He showed up on time he was very polite he did exactly what he said he was going to do and he was a very nice gentleman I would definitely hire him again

Played at Arlington National Cemetery for burial of a veteran. Fantastic musician and very professional.

Well done! Will hire again

Duncan was professional and excellent at his craft. I am thankful to have found him for my event. All of the guests commented on how talented he was.

Duncan was very responsive, very easy to coordinate with and flexible. He was completely punctual and his music was so fun!
Thank you!

I had great experience with hiring Duncan. He arrived on time and delivered a very professional performance that was very much liked by my guests.

Duncan was amazing he arrived ahead of time the music was wonderful and he was very gracious as we took lots of pics ! Thank you Duncan

Duncan was wonderful to work with. Not only is he a wonderful performer; he is also a great vendor. My husband and I enjoyed working with Duncan. We were grateful for his guidance as he has so much experience performing at Arlington National Cemetery. Everyone who attended the memorial service commented on how lovely the bagpipe playing was. It really added a reverence and elegance to the day. Thank you again, Duncan!

Duncan is very professional and he plays so beautifully! We used him a few years ago and I was so delighted to see that he is still playing. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Duncan was quick to respond and an absolute professional. We hired him to play a couple of pieces at my father's graveside service. I wasn't in the best state to interact, but he knew exactly how to handle everything professionally and delicately. I would highly recommend his services.

We're very pleased by Duncan's performance. He is very professional, he was on-time, and the music was perfect for the occasion. We would hire him on the future for other events. Highly recommended!

Duncan was superb. He was extremely easy to work with in preparing for the event and choosing what songs we wanted. He actual playing was outstanding. The effect of a piper in the ceremony was unparalleled. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Duncan was amazing at our wedding. He filled the church with beautiful music with Ullianne pipes. Our family was surprised on paying homage to my husbands Irish roots. The music was the perfect element for our wedding and we would use Duncan again! If you are looking for someone professional, timely, and talented, consider Duncan for your next event.

Duncan was absolutely amazing. He was so pleasant and was able to accommodate exactly what we needed. He made it a very memorable service. Beautiful music. Highly recommended for any event.

Wonderful experience. Duncan was professional and engaging. He took requests and explained background of songs he played. We were very pleased with his performance and I would highly recommend

Duncan was fantastic! He arrived on schedule, beautifully attired, and ready to go. His playing was gorgeous and moved our Scottish guest of honor to tears (and me too!). And he hung out after so we could all take photos.
I highly recommend him and will def hire him again. Thank you kindly, Duncan. You really made our party!!!!

Duncan was wonderful. Our Residents really enjoyed him. Will invite back again.

Duncan did a fantastic job at my father funeral. He worked with us on every detail, and played flawlessly. If your looking for a piper, look no further.

Wedding 12/11/21 at The Citron with Introduction to Groom for wedding and for arrival of guests was top notch and loves by all guests!

Duncan was great. Laid back he arrived when he said he would, performed as I wished and made my daughter cry with joy. What more can one ask.

Best appearance, punctual, great communication, great musicianship. It made the day very special.

Duncan was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. Super easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make our wedding music absolutely fantastic and what we dreamed of. He sounded great and our guests loved him! Thank you Duncan for everything.

We hired Duncan to play for our wedding. He was very accommodating, explained the best type of bagpipe to use for our venue, and worked splendidly with the other musicians we hired. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in having bagpipes played at their event!

Duncan was able to provide a great show for my father's retirement party with a little more than 24 hours notice. His performance was the highlight of the event and days afterward many people are still remarking about how impressive it was! Thanks again Duncan!

I cannot recommend Duncan Moore highly enough! I booked him several weeks ago to play as guests arrived at our son's wedding in Baltimore. It was a wonderfully multicultural wedding, and I knew I wanted to have some of my own heritage represented in the mix. Duncan answered all of my early inquiries promptly, and was gracious and easy to work with. He arrived a bit early on the day of the wedding, just to make sure everything was in order. His playing lent the perfect festive touch as the guests arrived. It immediately let guests know that they had arrived at the right spot and that something special was about to happen. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Duncan was great. He played for my Mom's celebration of life service this past weekend. He was professional, early, ready to go and a great sport ( it was hot!!!!) Will def call on him when we need a piper and share his good name with other folks. :) Thanks, Duncan!

Duncan was absolutely the best! He was very talented and played beautiful music, he was professional and very flexible with our wedding day requests. We highly recommend him for any occasion!

My husband always wanted bagpipes playing at his internment, and Duncan Moore supplied this with ease. Although the service at the church was shorter than expected and we were at the cemetery earlier than we anticipated. Duncan provided pleasant music during the service at the burial and played “Amazing Grace” so beautifully. Then he continued to play softly and, in the distance, as we said our final good-byes. I was very impressed with Duncan and his ability to read what was necessary for this emotional event. I would definitely hire Duncan Moore again.

Duncan was very professional and a blessing for us to have at our wedding! I would recommend him for anyone that needs a bagpiper.

Duncan and his drummer were prompt, extremely professional, courteous and respectful.
The price is fair.
The performance was more than what was expected.
I would recommend him to anyone who needed such services

Duncan did an exceptional job. We could not have imagined better then what he performed. He was easy to contact and replied quickly and thoroughly to my messages. He was very knowledgeable at his craft and explained everything so well beforehand so there would be no surprises the day of. Very professional and empathetic to the situation. My family is so grateful he was apart of my grandfather’s service and honored his wishes so beautifully. Highly recommend his services♥️

Duncan was excellent. He’s a highly skilled bagpiper who related to us interesting backgrounds on the songs he played and on the bagpipe itself—all in a most amiable way. Five stars all the way.

Duncan was a true professional and exceeded all of my family's expectations. This was a surprise for my Mother as she was unable to go anywhere to hear Irish music with the pandemic. Her delight cannot be measured. Duncan played some favorite tunes and spoke to the history behind the bagpipes and the music. I highly recommend Duncan for any event. He was fantastic, very gracious and kind.

Made my wife happy

Duncan played the most soothing pipes for my moms funeral, he was very respectful and played with grace and reverence. We will definitely utilize his excellent skills again.

This app is awesome and Duncan was so responsive! I booked using the app late night after our rehearsal dinner and he immediately responded! Price was above and beyond reasonable.

We were very pleased to work with Duncan for my son's wedding held outside Union Station in DC. I would highly recommend Duncan to anyone looking for a piper in the DC area/metro or Maryland.

Duncan was great! He arrived early and played for 15 minutes before the service, and then a lovely set at the grave site. His playing was masterful. He knew when to play and when not to. Very professional. Highly recommended!

Duncan is excellent! Not only is he a fantastic player, he is very personable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Duncan is awesome! I hired him to play at the end of my son’s “virtual graduation” from Carnegie Mellon University where they have a bagpipe corps who play at major events. I sent an email to our neighborhood list serve, but only told him that I had a surprise gift.

Duncan arrived early, texted me, parked around the corner so he could start playing before anyone saw him. It was magical! My son has been playing bagpipe music in his room before the ceremony, so the look on his face was priceless. He immediately posted a video and photos, then smiled as all of the comments came in.

Duncan played 3 or 4 songs with nice breaks in between. Then, he stayed to chat with my son, which was very special. Duncan was very familiar with Carnegie Mellon and knew a graduate of its bagpiping program; in fact, Duncan had recently been to CMU where his friend gave a lecture. My son was floored and will never forget Duncan and his beautiful music.

Wait...did I forget to mention that Duncan plays exquisitely?! My niece balked when I told her there would be a bagpiper, because she had to listen to terrible piping every year in high school. She was blown away with Duncan’s mystical music.

Not only did Duncan surprise and amaze my son, my family and my neighbors with his mysterious entrance, but also he played as he walked “off into the distance.”

While it wasn’t the graduation ceremony with college friends that my son had dreamed of, in many ways it was much more memorable being with childhood neighbors and his own private bagpiper.

Thank you, Duncan! xoxo

Great job, really made our event spectacular

Piper Duncan Moore was wonderful. Besides being talented (and handsome ) he is extremely kind and thoughtful. I look forward to his piping at the celebration of life to b held near my beloved deceased’s birthday or whenever gatherings can b held again.

Duncan is professional and fully capable of playing to any crowd. This was our second year having Duncan play at our St. Patrick’s Festival. 2 years in a row he has dominated the party.

Wonderful bagpiper, played haunting music, and really added a new dimension to a funeral service in the Virginia area.

Wonderful experience. Arrived early to warm up and then stood outside to pipe guests into house. Played all during dinner. Really a great experience.

Duncan was great. Ongoing communications with me; arrived on time, completely professional, and this bag-piping of Amazing Grace for our Veterans' Service was wonderful.

Duncan was awesome at my husband's 60th birthday party! He is amazing on the pipes, and our guests were in awe to be able to experience such a talented artist right up front. he was 100% reliable and on time, and responsive to our questions and requests. I wish I could hear him play every week!

Duncan was enthusiastic about my event, followed up appropriately, and was generally great to work with planning the event. He showed up on time, in good order, and operated flawlessly with the minimum of direction. I enjoyed his selections and his highly proficient playing. He played prior to our memorial service and, after the interment, piped us to our reception, an easy and memorable march on a beautiful day.

I would highly recommend Duncan to anyone looking for a piper.

Well played

Duncan was easy to work with and the music was absolutely beautiful. He was able to watch from a distance and choreograph his entrances perfectly into the ceremony. Highly recommend!

I hired Duncan as a surprise for my now spouse whose family is Scottish. You can even see his Scottish tartan vest in this picture. Duncan played absolutely beautifully, and everyone was in tears. Seriously, so many people came up to me to tell me how they cried while he played. It was an absolutely beautiful. Duncan selected the pieces, and they were perfect selections for the setting. Absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful, thoughtful, important, and beautiful experience and piper. Thank you SO much! I’m sure there are many more pictures that are closer up of Duncan himself, but this is what I have so far.

Duncan was incredible. Super responsive, had a great repertory. We hired him for our wedding and he played during a pre-ceremony ritual and during the recessional. He made many people cry, including me. He is an incredibly skilled musician. Highly recommended.

He played for my mom’s burial service and was perfect in every way!

Duncan was early, cheerful and fantastic on the pipes. Great time had by all.

Duncan was great! Totally on time with everything. Excellent piper! He was very well polished as a piper. He did a great job coordinating the event prior to the event date too. We totally recommend Duncan. He was excellent at our wedding!

Duncan S. Moore was contacted on short notice and was able to play for my fathers funeral in Gettysburg Pa.
It was cold and raining that day.
My father requested " Going Home" and Duncan played the song perfect.
Duncan is a very experienced bag pipe player. My father had full military tribute and Duncan fit in perfect with the military vets.
I would recommend Duncan for any occasion but it was a honor for him to play at my fathers funeral.

I can't express how wonderful it was to have Mr. Moore perform for our summer playground camp. The children ages 6-12 yrs were very interested in learning about the history, instrument and costume and enjoyed wonderful music. Mr. Moore is an excellent musician and worked very well with the children.

Duncan was Great! Hope to have him back for other events!

Duncan was wonderful. Beautiful job. He was prompt, kind and great to work with. I highly recommend Duncan.

Duncan did the piping at my father’s funeral. He is an excellent piper. Prior to the event he made a strong effort to understand our desires and he definitely met our wishes. His selections were poignant and heartfelt. I would definitely recommend him and would surely use him again if the need arose

Did Great Job - highly recommend.

Kind person, great performance. All of our residents loved it.

Everyone was really pleased with Duncan he went above and beyond in fact I gave info for your web site and Duncan,s name it really went great.

Duncan Moore was great!
His Bagpipe playing was delightful and professional,the perfect Christmas surprise.
He was accommodating to the waterside setting wearing the traditional kilt and
inspired all the guests to jig on the dock!!

Thanks to Duncan our family and friends will have fond memories of the Memorial Service for my daughter. And when my son gets married in the very near future we will definitely have Duncan play the pipes again for our family and friends. Thank you, Duncan Moore you exceeded our expectations

Duncan was highly professional and very talented. He entertained the large crowd and helped to get our team and home crowd "fired-up." I highly recommend Duncan and plan on using him again.

Duncan stayed and performed an hour later than planned. The limo driver wasn't given the correct venue by his company and before we realized we were going the wrong way our detour caused the start of the wedding to be delayed an hour! Duncan was professional enough to wait for the recessional and the surprise bagpiper stunned the couple. Truly a blessed day!
Thank you Duncan.

We asked Duncan to play entrance music for Rowdy Roddy Piper at our wrestling event in May. He was extremely professional and did an excellent job. That moment in the event was awesome and everyone is still talking about it. Thank you Duncan!! Great job.
