Good luck with that.

I'm now a little more than a year into my bagpipe lessons. You want an
oddball instrument, the bagpipe qualifies. The first thing one needs to
do is learn to "unread" music, as the time values are only approximate.

I can play any sort of keyboard in my sleep. (in fact, many people have
observed my palying might improve if I woke up)......but darnarewskis
if that 9-note bagpipe chanter isn't every bit as difficult to master
as an 88-note keyboard. :-)



Bagpipes??
I'll have to leave that to my cousins. I'd be kicked out of the
neighbourhood if I started wailing on our shoulder to shoulder 40' x
100' city lots.
see cousin's book... http://www.cranfordpub.com/books/mackenzie.htm
In NYC, where there is a very large group of Scots and Irish blokes, you
find people practicing the bagpipes in Central Park. I don't think they
do this so others can enjoy the music. My guess is they do this so
their neighbors don't complain.

I love Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.
