Before the event Tim communicated with me and asked if I had any special requests. He entered the big party playing Scotland the Brave and the crowd loved it. Overall it was a great experience!
Indescribable. Dayton National Cemetery No Show. Freezing. Honor guard, freezing. No show. No call. No call back. Got my money back, but what good did that do??? I even called him afterwards, praying for an explanation—nothing.
Thank you for being so kind to our family during my nephew’s memorial service. Beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace.
Tim did a wonderful job helping to enrich our 9/11 Stair Climb that we do every year at MHS. He was prompt, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to play for the climbers.
Like the small bagpipe for inside, wish would of played Campbell's r Coming as requested.
But a fun time. Thank you!
On time, easy to communicate with and worked with The music minister at our Church to ease any concerns
Tim was there before schedule, stayed a bit later than scheduled. He played the color guard up to the service pavilion and then amazing grace at the conclusion of the service. He added to the memorial rather than distracted. Thank you Tim!
Tim arrived right on time and played fabulously considering how cold it was! My brother was so happy! I will hire him again in the future. He was so kind and personable, and educated us a little about the difference between Irish and Scottish bagpipes.
Tim made my brother’s funeral bearable!! He was just perfect and we know my brother loved him too!
I cannot imagine anyone being more perfect! Such a nice guy as well!
Tim performed for my mother’s gravesite service and there was a dry eye when he finished with Amazing Grace. Very respectful. I would strongly recommend Tim! He arrived 30 mins before the service and did processional songs as the Hearst arrived.
He went WAY ABOVE and beyond for our family for my moms funeral. She loved the bagpipes and would have been so pleased. He proceeded into the funeral walked straight up to her and played several of her favorites as if he was serenading her. He stayed during the whole service playing So beautifully the funeral home wanted his information!! I Will never be able to THANK HIM enough for the beauty that he added to this solemn service!!!
Tim did a wonderful job, very accommodating with my requests even with such a short time frame. He looked so authentic and made the day a very special surprise.
Tim showed up super early and communication was top notch. Would highly recommend.
He waited patiently at the gravesite until all family & friends were arriving. It was cold and windy, but he was present and did a great job!
He played for my mom's funeral. He was at the cementary and ready to play when we arrived. Very professional and played beautifully. Thank you!
Response from Tim Schaiper:

Response from Tim Schaiper:
You are so kind. thank you
Tim did a fantastic job!
Tim was professional, friendly, relaxed, easy to work with and played beautifully. I would highly reccomend him to anyone.
Tim plays an amazing bagpipe and tears were flowing with his "Gone Home" and "Amazing Grace" at my son's military service at Dayton National Cemetery. He was clear in his correspondence, compassionate at the service, and made a wonderful contribution to the memory of our last day with our son. Thank You, Tim!
Tim was awesome! He did an awesome job! Made my daughter's wedding perfect!
My family and I hired Tim for a funeral service procession for our loved one. He delivered on exactly what he said he would do to the fullest extent. We received a lot of comments that Tim was excellent and we couldn't agree anymore. Thanks Tim for being professional and on point with everything.
Tim played at our daughter's reception as guests arrived and until the Bride and Groom entered. He did a beautiful job. We loved the mood that he created with his music. And you won't meet a nicer gentleman. He has a very warm personality It's obvious he loves what he is doing. We're so thankful for musicians like this that keep traditions alive. Very professional. Very touching addition to a beautiful day! Thank you again, Mr Schaiper.
We really enjoyed having Tim Schaiper play for our company Christmas party. He showed up in plenty of time, played beautifully and helped make the evening complete. He was great at communicating and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend him to anyone!
Tim is one of the most talented people I have ever met when it comes to music. He teaches himself how to play many different very difficult instuments including the bagpipes. He was very easy to talk to and professional. He picked the perfect songs for us just by talking to us for a short time. On the day of the wedding he was there early and ready to go. I will recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for a musician. He made our day perfect.
Tim did a great job for our family. He was on time, very professional, and played the bagpipes very well. in our time of sorrow, it was an uplifting experience.
