[[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. | |||
