"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.
Also, bagpipes can be extraordinarily difficult to learn on your own. I am very leery of "Teach Yourself the Pipes!" kits -- especially those originating from far corners of the world, many of which illegally duplicate copyrighted material from proper tutor books. It is best to find a reputable piper in your area and take personal lessons; ideally with a band.
