I am a Great Highland Bagpipe player who wants to learn the Uilleann bagpipe (UB) as well. Currently, most UB take about a year and a huge amount of money to order. I just want to get started and see if its for me. I came across Pakistani UBs that are a small fraction of the price of a western UB and available immediately. So here are my questions: Do any of you have any experiences with Pakistani UBs? If so, are they playable at all? Should someone buy a set if they want to try them out and learn the basics before committing to a quality set? Or is it a complete waste of money? I would prefer to hear from people who have first hand experience. Thank you very much for your help and advice, Eyler
