Rachel Walton (School Choir Concert) 23 May 2026

Johnny is simply incredible! I am an elementary school music teacher who came to him with a wild proposal to accompany my choir of 96 children on a Scottish folk song, The Skye Boat song.

He met with my assistant directors and I to come up with a plan of how to coordinate the flow of the song and balance the vocals and the pipes. He is an amazing collaborator and had a lot of great ideas of how to make it come together.

He came to one of our rehearsals and was so gracious and so kind with the students. They absolutely loved interacting with him!

Our whole community was enchanted with him when he played for the concert and opened for us and then performed the number we had worked on together. He is a very eloquent and engaging speaker and a master at his instrument! He’s one of those people who is just a joy to work with and we look forward to collaborating with him again on future musical projects!

They say that some men play the pipes, but with Johnny, it is as if the pipes breathe through the man. To hear him play is not merely to listen to music, it is to be spirited away across the Atlantic, past the mist veiled Crinan Canal, and straight into the rugged heart of the Scottish Highlands.

When Johnny strikes the drone and the first notes of "Flower of Scotland" pierce the air, the modern world simply ceases to exist. Whether he is weaving the haunting melody of "The Skye Boat Song" or the majestic, soul stirring echoes of "Highland Cathedral," the transformation is absolute. You can almost smell the damp heather and feel the cold spray of the North Sea on your face.

Johnny possesses the rare, ancient gift of the Gaelic "Sgeulachd." His music is a spectrum of the human soul. The Joy, His upbeat reels evoke the fire of a clan celebration. The Sorrow, His laments carry the weight of a thousand years of mourning, touching a depth of grief and reverence that words cannot reach. The Wonder, Between the ballads, he stands as a keeper of lore, captivating the crowd with stories of Scotsmen long past and the bloody, beautiful history of his ancestors.

It is whispered and rightly so that Johnny’s skill is no mere hobby, but a sacred inheritance. His lineage stretches back generations to the most legendary pipers in Scotland’s history. You can hear that heritage in every grace note and every perfectly sustained drone. He doesn't just play the songs, he carries the ghosts of the great masters in his fingers.

If you seek a piper who can summon the spirits of the glens and move the very earth beneath your feet, look no further than Johnny. He is a master, a storyteller, and a living legend.

Jonny was quick to be in communication after getting the word of our need after my Fathers passing. He was very attentive, respectful and gave me a list of several songs he would be willing to play after learning what my Dad would like. As the family arrived to the gravesite you could hear the bagpipes which gave a comforting effect, and aided in the completion and overall experience putting my Dad to rest. Jonny is an excellent bagpiper and would highly recommend him!

Johnny played at the graveside for my mom’s funeral, and he did an absolutely wonderful job. As soon as I requested a quote I receive a message and a phone call. He provided a lot of helpful information up front and was very professional. He was kind and caring throughout the process, and was always quick to respond.

The performance was amazing! We could tell he was refined in his skills and everyone enjoyed the music and the emotion he brought to it. We even asked him to play a few more songs while our family did a small activity and he was more than willing to do it. So wonderful!

We have used John for two years now after my brother passed. He is obviously talented but more importantly in times of grief… He is so easy to work with, responsive and kind. He doesn’t push, he’s helpful and willing to go above and beyond. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave and wanted to make sure we had a good experience. He’s just a good human with good energy. We used one other bagpiper that was a totally different feeling, so I know John is just special!

He played at our Uncles graveside service today as part of or uncles last wish to have bagpipes present during his Military honors. He was so kind and considerate of our families wishes and made sure to collaborate with the US Marines to make sure and honor their protocol as well. He communicated with me every step of the way as I have never had to hire a Bagpiper, and made the progress easy, especially during such a hard time. The service was flawless, and between him and the US Marines it all came together beautifully. Thank you. Our entire family is eternal grateful.

My husband surprised me with a visit from Johnny for our wedding anniversary. I was born in Scotland and we both love the sound of the bagpipes. Johnny was amazing and pulled off the surprise with ease! He plays beautifully. A very memorable evening and we will for sure have him back again as soon as we find an excuse!

NoSprings Eleven (Funeral) 1 May 2026
10/10

Talk about a professional! Johnny Miner was a Class A professional. We had him play at my brother's graveside services. He called ahead of time to get all the details. He explained he would play off in the distance while people gathering. Then as per requested he would play Amazing Grace. He offered to explain to those gathered that he would play Amazing Grace and then fade off into the distance as is the Celtic tradition of the spirit lingering and then fading away.
The cemetery he played at was quite a ways away, so not only did he travel a long ways to get there, but he was early to the graveside services. Unfortunately one of our speakers got lost, so the service was delayed a considerable amount of time. However, Johnny continued to play in the hot sun with no complaint.
The bagpipe playing was the highlight of the send off for my brother and was no doubt the highlight of the service. I was amazed how simple and quick it was to make the arrangements to have a bagpiper play at a funeral service. Johnny was dressed beautifully and enhanced a beautiful service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to add the beautiful sound of bagpipes to any event. Hopefully in the future we will be able to invite him back for a more joyful event such as a wedding.

Julie V. Wilcox (Funeral) 1 May 2026
10/10

Before our mother passed, her wish was to have a bagpiper play Amazing Grace. Johnny did so much more! As we arrived at the cemetery, he was playing hymns at a little distance. As the pallbearers brought the casket to the graveside, he played her favorite Amazing Grace, and following the dedication of the grave, he played Going Home. Johnny explained to me earlier about the Celtic belief that the soul would stay with the body until after the service, the soul would be led away by the bagpiper to Go home. It was all beautiful and respectful abd would have made my mother very happy. The family was very pleased. My husband (who has no Scottish Ancestors) said afterward that he would like a bagpiper for his burial! Thank you so much for helping to make a difficult day an uplifting experience.

Victoria Christensen (Funeral) 1 May 2026

We were privileged enough to have John play at our son’s one year death anniversary memorial. John has an amazing talent and his professionalism and flexibility in accommodating our time and place were above and beyond all expectations. The music is so beautiful and mesmerizing and we look forward to having John, his kilt, and his bagpipes join us in the future to mark some of our most treasured moments.

Johnny played bagpipes for my dads funeral service. He was so professional and compassionate. There was a mix up with another group that should have been there but couldn’t make it, and Johnny was quick to volunteer to step in and fill the gap. His music is beautiful and his skill and knowledge of tradition is top notch. He was easy to communicate and schedule with. I highly recommend him for any event.

This gentleman is the poster child for professionalism. He is always early to his events he knows the songs to be played and they sound absolutely flawless. His tuning is pitch perfect and is probably one of the best pipers I have heard. I would HIGHLY recommend Johnny for any event where you need/desire to have the pipes played because I can guarantee he will not disappoint. He has reasonable prices and a flexible schedule and is super friendly and very easy to work with. Truly a master of his craft.

Don Morrow (Funeral) 1 May 2026
10/10

My family enjoyed the pleasure of having Johnny play at my mom & dads graveside service!
I wanted to surprise my siblings and have Johnny start playing on 👍
The service was running late because we were waiting for my nephew driving in from MT and so Johnny had to leave twice to go to a nearby park to retune his pipes.
My brother gave the opening prayer and then I spoke for a minute and then motioned for Johnny to start playing 👍
He began with “how great thou art” as he walked over to the graveside and everyone was touched to tears. 😢
The he played “Amazing Grace” at the headstone! Then after some family members spoke, he played a request for my dads birthday of “Danny Boy” and I know my mom loved Hallelujah but it wasn’t on his list and so I asked him if he could try it.
It was short notice only a few days and Johnny nailed it!!
It was a very special tribute and send off to our mom & dad and Johnny did a beautiful job and I won’t hesitate to recommend him for any family funeral!!
It was perfect 👍

Thank You Johnny, from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Mr. Minor was extremely professional throughout the whole process. He was at the cemetery for my mothers graveside service well before we arrived and played beautifully. He has a large repertoire of songs and is willing to learn songs if he doesn’t know them. Not at all pushy about money and the price was extremely fair. I of course don’t want to have to call him for funeral services anytime soon, but the next time it comes up I will definitely call him first.

Joseph Fryer (Funeral) 1 May 2026

Mr. Miner was very professional and helpful through the whole process up to and including my father's funeral. He gave us suggestions and advice on what he had done in the past that worked well.

Johnny made the reunion with my missionary parents returning from Scotland one for the ages. An already emotional experience was all the sweeter with the sound of Scotland the Brave echoing through the airport as they were swarmed by a few dozen grandkids followed by warm embraces from my siblings and me. I would recommend him for any occasion where you need his special talent.

We couldn’t ask for a better experience for my father in laws funeral.
Johnny showed up way in advance in a beautiful setting.
We asked for some specific numbers, one of which he’d never played. He mastered the song and played it beautifully as well as the others. He also was very helpful in suggestions for timing. Prelude music while people were arriving was truly an added bonus. This man is also a true gentleman.
If you desire a piper for any event, I recommend Johnny.

He was the consummate professional and made sure he knew exactly what I wanted for my Mum's memorial service. Every note was gracefully expressed and flawlessly executed. It was the perfect send off.

If I could give 10 stars I would. I had recently told my fiancé randomly weeks ago that i loved bagpipes. Leaving this review the day after our wedding because she surprised me with the most amazing performance I’ve ever heard from Johnny Miner. Johnny supposedly had 1 week to learn a song that my wife requested and he absolutely stunned everyone attending the reception. Chills and tears in my eyes. Unbelievable.

Johnny called me within minutes of posting a request for a bagpiper. We were coming from out of state for a funeral having little communication with the family and sparse knowledge of how the day would go. He was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating He was professional, arrived well in advance, played wonderfully, and conducted his portion of the ceremony as if there had been rehearsals, although the service was very much off the cuff. He was flexible and could adapt at the last minute, working alongside the honor guard to help create a beautiful and honoring ceremony. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and would call him again.

I wish I could give John 10 stars! Planning a funeral is hard and stressful, but working with John was not. He responded quickly and gave great suggestions for how he could make the service even more meaningful. There was a small hiccup where I didn’t communicate correctly what the family wanted, but in the moment he jumped in and made it happen. I wish I had the words to explain how great working with him was, just hire him and you won’t be disappointed!!

We reached out to Johnny for my husband's military retirement ceremony on base. Johnny has great communication skills and was clear and upfront about the limitations of the bagpipe to ensure we were happy with the final rendition of our song selections. Johnny was punctual and polished and he did a wonderful job and clearly takes pride in his craft. He made my husband's ceremony very special and we are so thankful he was available to be a part of the day.

Johnny was phenomenal in everything he did. He sent me soundbites to choose from he walked me through what he could to help me make decisions that were hard to make on my own. He was professional and his music was amazing! I will forever be in his debt for making a difficult time a little bit more amazing and memorable! He is highly recommended by my whole family!

Johnny was so wonderful. He rearranged his entire schedule so he could play at my mother's graveside service. It really completed it. He was so wonderful, after the service he played for ay least 15 more minutes so we could just enjoy it. It really made it special, it was something my mom had always wanted. After the service everyone was so impressed and said that having the bagpipes there really completed it. I can't thank Johnny enough for all he did that day.

Jonny scheduled with me the quickest & it felt like I already knew him as we communicated + arranged for the performance.. asked exactly what we were looking for or wanting & style of songs needed at what moments- collaborating with me for weeks prior to my gathering. Well he exceeded anything expected! Everything flowed beautifully~ also dressed well & graceful. Jonny came to play at my brothers memorial celebration and the kind of sound, space, vibe and connection he provided was far beyond what can be portrayed through words! Massively impressed, left in awe, We are beyond grateful for this man merging paths with us, honoring the spirits with who’s in body while sharing his gifts~
We will be contacting him in the future for sure he’s our guy • what a legend •

Johnny is such a gift. He provided an amazing service to my family by playing bagpipes at both my sister’s and my father in law’s graveside services. I can’t say enough how graceful we are for playing. Thank you!

We had our bagpipe player back out at the last min. Literally 45 min. Before our graveside service was to begin. We found Johnny Miner and we consider him to be a tender mercy! He dropped everything in his busy morning to play the bagpipes for us and it was so lovely, it couldn't have been better if he had any time to prepare.. which he didn't! I would recommend him to anyone. He is very talented and cared more about us and our situation than his own. Thank you Johnny!

Johnny was absolutely amazing. His performance made for a very special part of our grandpas funeral service. It was special to have him there when the doors to the funeral opened and then again at the gravesite. He knows what he is doing and is happy to give advice for what is commonly done, or also can be flexible if you have something in mind. Very impressed with his stamina!

John played for my wedding and made a good wedding into a great wedding with a matter of a few cords from the pipe. He was easy to work with, had a very fair price, and made my family wedding an event that won't be forgotten by my attendees. Highly recommend him if you want to have an excellent show for any event!

Johnny Miner is an amazing bagpiper. He agreed on short notice to perform for the 9-11 Fallen Firefighters Memorial Motorcycle Ride. The ride started at South Valley Harley-Davidson on September 7, 2024. The Marines Motorcycle Club presented the colors and performed the flag ceremony. Johnny played two numbers for us and ended with Amazing Grace. He looked and acted the part. He is extremely professional and very talented. I am so grateful that he was willing to perform for us.
Thank you Johnny!
