Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
FIRST!.!.!.you need to talk with a local piper or band!. They will steer you in the right direction!. Buying cheap Pakistani made chanters from Lark in the Morning is NOT the way to go!. You need to set in on some practice chanter and band lessons to see if this is really what you want to do!. If you do, the pipers will recommend outlets to buy from and give you price ranges!. Once you start lessons (and you can't learn this on your own !) you will know if this is something you really want to immerse yourself in!. When you're ready to purchase pipes (about a year after you start chanter lessons) the pipers will again steer you towards a stand of pipes in your budget range!. Often, pipers and bands will know of used sets at reasonable prices!. A study was done years ago of people who really wanted to play the bagpipes!. Less than 1% were still playing after five years!. It takes a lot of time and dedication!. Good LuckWww@QuestionHome@Com

You don't need a full set to start with!. You will begin by learning the fingering on a chanter!.

Or contact a piper in your area and see if anyone has used ones for sale or loan!. Or they can probably tell you where to get less expensive ones- a starter set!.

But I do strongly advise caution when buying instruments from ebay -- be sure to find out where they are made!. Many vendors on ebay are selling cheap but not good instruments made in Thailand or such!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I freaked out at how expensive some of these are!.!.!.WOWWww@QuestionHome@Com

Lark in the Morning sells a kit to learn to play the bagpipes consisting of a practice chanter and an instruction book (see link)!. That might be a reasonable and inexpensive starting point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
