| Volker Bier uses to listen to loud (really loud!) Rock or Heavy Metal music when working on his pipes. Hence his grading uses the names of his most favorite bands:
| |
| * '''JP''' — Judas Priest - rusticated and partially rusticated pipes.
| |
| * '''IR''' — Iron Maiden - smooth pipes; grain not just super and also may have small spots.
| |
| * '''RA''' — Rammstein - smooth pipes with beautiful grain; few minor spots.
| |
| * '''MA''' — Manowar - smooth pipes with beautiful grain; no spots.
| |
| More recently introduced and not representing a grade but a certain line of pipes were
| |
| * '''IE''' — In Extremo - pipes with bamboo shanks.
| |
| * '''BR''' — Brings - Mooreiche / Morta pipes.
| |
| The grading has no meaning at all for the quality of craftsmanship. In his own words: a JP is just as well (or poorly) made as a MA.
