Q:do I need to own a set of Bagpipes to take lessons?
A: No, when you begin learning the Bagpipes you actually start on the practice chanter. The practice chanter is where you will learn all the fingering for the bagpipe. No matter how advanced you become you will always use the practice chanter to pick up new tunes and work over small sections of music.
