my name is Connell and I think that I can help you!
I live in the Asheville area and I've been playing bagpipes for 4 years now.
I can teach you the pipes, they are my passion and it sounds like they are yours as well.

I have sent you my contact info. via PM
This is my dads profile by the way, on the forums I'm MadBagpiper.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
