This topic has most likely been addressed before, so can anyone direct me to a thread that deals with quality practice sets that one can get at a reasonable price? I would appreciate any leads.
I think pat sky http://www.patricksky.com and David Daye http://www.daye1.com are the highly recommended/respected reasonably priced starter set makers.
Also Uilleann Pipeworks of Boston has been recommended many times on this site. I’ve got one of the practice chanters here and it’s a good player.
Unfortunately it looks as though the UPB are about to get more difficult to obtain, as they say on the website that they will close their waitlist as of May 1 '08 and go part-time. (Webpage says see this link: http://www.uilleannpipeworks.com/prices.html for info on how to order in the future).
