 Not so good...May 10, 2006
By K. Tanner
I bought these pipes because I wanted a cheap set just to play around with and well... it ended up costing me more than the pipes themselves just to bring them up to par. The bag itself is a stiff leather one from Pakistan which I needed to replace. I also bought better reeds and a new blowpipe because these pipes have a very weird flip valve.

Dont waste your money!!!Oct 25, 2010

A decent set of bagpipes are going to cost you at least $600 or more. I found that out the hard way after spending over $300 on a junk set just like these! Yea, I go beat up severely but it was a lesson learned...aside from that the crooked music store I purchased these from is no longer in business for pulling such crap like this! I had to end up spending $100 more to make them halfway "playable" and even then they didnt sound all that great either! Bottom line, dont waste your money on this garbage! They sound flat and just plain awful...like a gaggle of brain damaged honking geese!!
If you are serious about learning to play bagpipes trust me, spend a little extra for a much better set. About all these are good for is to hang on the wall as an ornamental conversation piece and that's it!!!

Junk is junkMar 02, 2011

"The Grey Piper"
Generally, if you see Pakistan as the origin of ANY bagpipe-related gear, best to just avoid it. I've been a piper more than 30 years and have yet to see anything from that part of the world which was not fit only for display over the fireplace -- or kindling in it. A good chanter reed these days will cost about $10 US; there's no 2 ways around it, and there are any number of reputable piping sources online, all across the US as well as Scotland and Canada. A decent set of pipes will cost in the $1000 range, so if you see a set going for 2 or 3 hundred somewhere -- don't even bother. Even a decent used set is worth in the $600 range --at least. Same with chanters alone -- a good plastic chanter will run about $150, blackwood about $100 more than that. So again, if you are seeing pipe chanters selling for $50 -- yes, it is too good to be true. You will be buying junk.

Yes, it is a waste of money.Aug 06, 2011
By Noel
I don't normally like to give items bad reviews, but please do not buy this product. All I was looking for was a beginner set to practice on before getting a more expensive set. However, these will not play at all, and even an experienced piper could not get them to work.

 Not good, not badFeb 02, 2011
By MARCOPH
Just change the reeds for something better and it will do the job. That's what I did and it started to sound good enough. Maybe you won't win a championship with this particular bagpipe, but you'll have fun playing it.
