Cheap pipes?

[wgority]

My primary piece of advice is to find someone who already has a set of them. Ask them for their input on sound and quality. I'd never buy a set of pipes unless I'd heard several other sets from the same maker and had gotten good reports on them from people whose opinions matter to me.

Honestly, Prester John, I'd think about going to smallpipes before going the "parlor sticks" route.

Drone on!

Hey, thanks!

I've also looked at things called "parlor sticks" (even posted separately about them)

Any pointers? And thanks again for your advice.

Thanks. I will take your advice.
