I am a beginning piper in atlanta, and am looking for a good set of practice pipes. only one problem…the budget is rather small. anyone know of any rather inexpensive pipes that are of good quality?
Sorry to the rest for being repetitive..

From the uilleann mailing list:
For those interested I am starting to make a budget practice set consisting of a straight ebony chanter with no keys, an imitation leather stitched bag and leather bellows. No Ivory very plain. All that said, this chanter plays just as well as a fully keyed model. Going price is $600.00 and right now the wait is only 2 months.
