Being a new Bagpipe player I'd say listen to the other folks advice. You don't start with the pipes anyway. Get a good practice chanter and, even more importantly, find a good teacher. Bagpipe is not an instrument you should try to learn on your own. I've been playing various instruments since I was in grade school and the Bagpipe is the hardest thing I've ever tried to play but the satisfaction when I learned circular breating and proper articulation made it all worth every frustration. Get a practice chanter and a teacher and the pipes will follow in good time.
