Living with Gussto promotes positive energy through gratitude, nature, fun, love, music, art, and highlighting those who do the same - oh...along with some bagpipes.
Books, Blogs, and Bagpipes!
That, my friends, is Living with Gussto!
Hire a Piper or a Band
Do you need a single piper for your event? Contact Piper Guss for availability. If she's not available, she can help find a bandmate who can help.
​
General Pricing Guidelines:
We know that people need to be able to budget for events, so I will review general guidelines and prices.
​
Here are the things we consider when setting up our pricing:
-
Each gig is considered different and is specialized for the needs of those hiring the piper. There is a base fee, and the items below can affect the price. Depending on the time required and amount of tunes played, base costs typically start at $200.
-
There is additional pricing for:
-
Extended travel distance
-
Extremely late or early hours (before 8:00 A.M. or after 8:00 P.M.)
-
Unusual or specialize tune requests. Please understand that the bagpipes have 9 notes, so some tunes do not necessarily transfer easily to the pipes, not that it can't be done.
-
Extended playing times.
-
For a series of events or locations in one day.
-
Anything that is different or other than a base gig
-
-
When a small band is required, there is increased pricing that depends on number of pipers and drummers required.
-
If you want to hire a specific band from the City of Dunedin Pipe Band, you will have to schedule through them, and they have their own pricing system. Please contact the band through their website: http://www.dunedinpipeband.com or ask Piper Guss for contact information.
