We have one fellow in the band that also plays a half set of Uilleann's, and another guy that was trying to sell his "practice set" ( chanter and bellows) I got a hold of it for a few weeks to see if i wanted to buy it. Its quite a bit different than highland pipes thats for sure!! They sure sound sweet though.

It depends. It is not an instrument that you just pick up and learn a few tunes. The foundation behind learning bagpipes takes some time, and a lot of effort. I have been teaching players for over 13 years and have seen it take anywhere from 3 months to a year depending on the students age.
