New music store specializes in bagpipes, Celtic items
In a narrow building on historic William Street in downtown New Bedford, a city resident, who has dual American and Irish citizenship and an affinity for bagpipes, recently celebrated the grand opening of his store, Joe Piper Celtic and Musical Goods.
Joseph Mone, pipe corporal of the Brian Boru Pipe Band in Falmouth and a member of two Ancient Order of Hibernians bands, one in Newport , R.I., and the other in Manchester, N.H., is a former high school Spanish teacher who started his business about a year ago.
"I was giving bagpipe lessons and selling accessories part time out of my home," he said. "And the number of students and the sales were increasing, so I decided to go full time.
"It's kind of like threefold gigs — weddings and funerals, sales of bagpipes and accessories, instruction and consignment sales. And there will be at least three other instructors teaching out of here," Mr. Mone said.
The store has a small office in the back, ideal for instruction, and another less formal space behind that. "I'm open to all types of musicians teaching out of here," Mr. Mone said.
Since the store's opening earlier this month, a number of people, just from downtown foot traffic, have poked their heads in and asked about the shop that has "Cead Mile Failte" — a Gaelic saying that means "100,000 welcomes" — written on the door.
If I can play them, anyone can.
Open enrollment for piper/drummer students w/ the Boston Police Gaelic Column this summer!
