the lessons are 40 bucks and a 10 dollar first time charge for materials. a chanter runs about 60 at things celtic http://www.thingsceltic.com/ and he will give you dates on what days are best for him and then will work it out from there. good luck!

Good luck with the pipes and sound advice from all -avoid the crap on Ebay -they are firewood.

It's my understanding that it's entirely possible to get clean sound from PVC.

After all, Blue Man Group has been making PVC-based instruments for a long time now.
