It's funny, when you get Irish banjo players together soon enough they'll start talking string gauges!
Probably because they're tuning GDAE on an instrument not designed to play that low.
Anyhow though the Highland pipes were my first instrument (40 years this year) I followed soon after by picking up the uilleann pipes, Irish flute, whistle, and bodhran.
For quite a few years I played Spanish pipes too, and for just a few years the Cornish pipes. (All these Celtic pipes led to my screenname Pancelticpiper which I use elsewhere.)
Some clips, first playing uilleann pipes, with organ accompaniment

and the big pipes, at our last contest, sorry for the wind noise
