Brown Bagpipe Supply

I have known Ross for over 25 years. His professionalism, expertise, humour, experience, teaching... incredible. Ross Brown has been a friend, teacher and mentor in my life. I wouldn't be the person I am today without his influence in my life. Thank you, Ross. Jarrod Purvis Piper with 78th Fraser Highlanders/Toronto Police grade 1

Ross is, by far and away, the BEST source in southern Ontario for supplies, technical expertise and helpful, hands-on assistance, and even tutelage, if opportunity arises. ...in a word, "the piper's ultimate, definitive triage center!" Ken T. Brighton, ON

Numerous guests at the wedding commented on how Mr. Brown's bagpiping added an air of elegance, tradition and formality to the occasion. He is a very talented musician. He was courteous, on time and worked with the wedding party to coordinate the music. I would not hesitate to recommend or call on him again. Ermes M. Toronto, ON

Ross is one of the most musical players I've met, and my years of lessons with him have been invaluable to my development as a musician and as a solo competitor. He is a very encouraging and supportive teacher, and his feedback always came with concrete steps for improvement. He taught me how to phrase tunes and how to play technique with an ear for musical integration, not just correctness. I've watched many of Ross's students become successful solo competitors. He helped me climb the grades and win "champion supreme" along the way, and I could not have done it without him. Though I no longer live in Kingston, I make a point of visiting Ross every time I am in town, and I highly recommend him as an instructor. Ryan Kavanaugh Student and customer

I have no hesitation in recommending Brown Bagpipe Supply for all of your piping and pipe band needs. Scott Bell Pipe Major - Rob Roy

From the first time I met him, to present, Ross has been an important part of my bagpiping endeavors. I purchased my first practice chanter from him and a few months later a great set of bagpipes at a fair price. Every time I go in to see him, he is very personable and helpful and I know I can trust his advice. Recently, I began lessons with him and am already noticing improvements in my playing after just a few weeks. After having taken lessons on other instruments for years, I know a good teacher when I see one and Ross is without a doubt an excellent instructor. Thanks for the help Ross, and keep up the good work! Kaj (Kingston, ON) Customer

I have been 100% pleased with the service I have received from Brown Bagpipe Supply. Ross gives individualized attention and takes the time to find out which product best meets a piper's needs. He would never push the more expensive product if it's not what you really need. He deals with casual players, serious competitors, and everyone in between, and uses the same care and respect for them all. Ross' expertise and enthusiasm are really quite unique, and I would recommend Brown Bagpipe Supply to anyone. Claire (Toronto, ON) Customer

Our son has taken lessons with Ross for four years from September to games season. In Ross' capable hands, Charlie moved through three grades in three years with medals at nearly every games, including golds, knockout wins, and 3 Eastern Ontario Champion Supreme trophies. Ross is the definition of gentle but firm. He manages to motivate, correct, encourage, and challenge with a characteristically soft voice. Along with experience he also shares his deep enthusiasm for Scottish music. We are thankful to have found this teacher/coach in Kingston. Aimee Dopking Parent of piping student

I have taken lessons from Ross for more than three years now, I can say that the experience has brought me to the level of piping I am at now. Ross Brown is skilled in that he can change his teaching style to any method he sees fitting to the student. I find that if you tell any piping judge that Ross is your instructor, their first response will likely be "You're well taught then. Charlie Pianosi Piper, Kingston Police pipes and Drums

I began lessons with Ross early in my solo piping career, and I can say with great confidence that he was the catalyst in much of the success I found in piping. Ross is a top-notch instructor; he has a wealth of knowledge in all areas of piping and he makes it easy to learn through a patient and thorough teaching style. To top it all off, he's a great person who never hesitates to do a favor or help in any way he can. I cannot recommend Ross enough, especially to anyone who is looking to improve their piping.
