Thank you, I've been considering learning and have heard that the uilleann pipes would be harder to learn to play than instruments I learned in school. This info was perfect to find how to get started. Very much appreciated!
Also, the link that is below " Free Beginner Uilleann Pipe Course - Getting started on the Uilleann Pipes" sends to a page that is broken :D At least if you type it manually it works.
The biggest thing is to avoid ebay or Amazon. You ideally will need to interact with a pipe maker and even better know another piper that can help you adjust your reed to avoid frustration. Listen to a set you like and then ask about experiences in a forum.
@@modelenginerding6996 Thanks for the input. After rewatching the video I realized I had somehow missed the whole discussion regarding Fred Morrison as a safe source for a practice set for a total beginner (me)

Pete, Please suggest a few of the better sources for a practice set of Uilleann pipes.

@@hughstoll3341 Awesome. You can't go wrong with a set of Morrisons. 👍
Is that a left handed set?
It is. Notice the right hand is the upper one on the chanter. In Irish he is a ciotóg (kithogue) as I am myself.
