I'll tell you...I think that we owe it to everyone to go out and procure bagpipes - every manjack of us - and let 'em have it whether we can actually play or not...I've heard that there is nothing that sounds as hideous a set of pipes that are out of tune and being played by someone who has no idea what they're doing. Perhaps I've been lucky enough to have never heard the pipes played under those conditions but if it will get folks to think twice before they ask that question.
And I don't think that we should waste our hard earned cash on quality pipes...I'm thinking of those $129 dollar jobs made in Pakistan that you can buy on the internet...why pay more? I can only imagine that they must sound great!
I suppose that if you were wearing an Indian headdress someone would ask if they were late for the pow-wow....

Or how about these for $39.95! And they probably fit in a small duffel bag.

Actually, this is one of my favorite music stores. I don't know how much money I've spent there. This is their second location since I started going to them. It looks like an old grocery store from the outside, but they did a nice job inside.

In Scots society the piper is a respected person, in the past they were even more revered as educated men.
in a world of computers, supersonic flight, and goodness knows what else, people arent impressed by anything anymore, until they walk down the street and hear a piper playing !!! then they are impressed!!
be proud
