Great Highland Bagpipe

 
The music of the Highland Bagpipe brings majesty and grandeur to the special events of life. Weddings, special anniversaries, birthdays and other celebrations, small or large, often require a signature touch that exclaims your intentions for all time.  Here is a sampling of Tyrone's clients, and his piping resume if you would like to view some of his professional and competition history.

To read about Tyrone's August 2009 success in Glasgow, Scotland, competing on his grandfathers' instrument, read the Seattle Times coverage or other commentary.
 
“Light Music” is made up of lively and spirited jigs and reels, distinctive marches, upbeat hornpipes, lifting strathspeys and majestic airs describe this contemporary cornerstone of Highland Bagpipe music. Listen to a sample by clicking one of the links on the right (below the photo).
 
With “Piobaireachd,” the noble power of ancient classical music offers a wide variety of musical expressions to set the ambiance for your event. Passed down for the last millennia orally, the majority of these melodies were recorded without the use of music notation.

Performance instruments used by Tyrone Heade include ca. 1900 Highland Bagpipes by R.G. Lawrie, ivory/German silver with wood projecting mounts, previously played by Tyrone's grandfather, Nicholas Patrick Heade, Sr.; 1890 Highland Bagpipes by David Glen, engraved silver with Thistle design; and, commissioned for Tyrone, Scottish Small Pipes made by David Naill, Somerset, in 1996, silver engraved with a Victorian design.
