How should a real beginner start learning the pipes?
If you’re a complete learner then we do have a clear recommendation, which is one of our hugely popular chanter learning kits. This enables you to learn the fingerings with a good and simple learning system, before deciding whether to make the next step up to a full set of pipes, at very low cost.
On the other hand, if you’ve decided you’re definitely wanting to start with a full set immediately, we also offer the same sort of beginner’s offer, with everything you’ll need (including the practice chanter above) at a really good price.
