Try the Uileann (ill-in) Pipes. It's the "Irish" version with the arm bellows.
As long as you have a tutor, it's pretty much the same. I have a set, and they're a BLAST! Since the others in Barleyjuice have the Highland Pipes, it adds a completely different sound.
Not too many, save Davey Spillane, are playing them these days and the sound is haunting. It's worth a "look".
You can actually get a small set that works from www.irishshop.com
Took a look at the site, but couldn't find the pipes. Lots of bohdrans though! Perhaps they have changed their catalogue after Christmas season?
Slainte,
