PIPING INSTRUCTORS


Ken Eller
(The Captain)

Hello! I am Ken Eller, also known as "The Captain", and in my 40 year piping career at the Grade 1 level I have been 15 times a winner of the North American Pipe Band Championships with two bands: the 78th Fraser Highlanders and the Clan MacFarlane Pipe Band. I am now retired from active competition and have expanded my involvement in instruction. It is my intent to be of service not only to students who participate in my workshops but also help the long distance piper needing special assistance.
