"Stephen Megarity is a talented reedmaker with a great ear for sound. He has demonstrated this in every band he played for in the UK. When he played for FMM he was always someone I could depend upon for an honest assessment of how the band was sounding in his area, something which was very important to me. He has developed his skills further since moving to California, producing and helping to produce some excellent sounds, in a number of top class bands."

Richard Parkes MBE P/M Field Marshal Montgomery

" My band played Megarity reeds at the Scottish 2010 and I can recommend them as a high quality choice for bands of all grades.  They have a great body of sound and have great abililty to hold pitch."

"I have known Steve Megarity since the summer of 2002 and had the pleasure of playing for Steve when he had the LAPD pipe band and also the 2006 Champion Supreme Misty Isle Pipe Band. I have been most impressed with Steve's ability to setup a pipe band and his skill's with reeds is second to none. His record with setting up and helping other pipe bands is really impressive too. The Bushmills Irish Pipers grade 3 band was able to take a few prizes as a result of Steve's efforts to set them up and do some coaching as well.Steve Megarity is an excellent reed maker and one of the best sound people in the business."

John B Mitchell P/M Callinish Pipe Band

"Steve Megarity has been instrumental in assisting the Bushmills Irish Pipers Band of San Francisco to improving both our tone and overall quality of play in our grade 3 and grade 4 bands. His understanding of the music and his determination in achieving the best possible sound for the piping corps is only eclipsed by his ability to have each piper reach their personal best. And besides, his pipe band stories (shared over the odd drink or two) are worth the money alone!”
