	Bagpipe FAQ : There is more than one kind of bagpipe? : Great Highland Bagpipe (GHB) : What will a set of Highland bagpipes cost me, and where do I find them?
	Moderator: redbeard@xmission.com (inherited from parent)
	The cost of a set of pipes will vary greatly depending on maker and materials. Cheap instruments can be had for a few hundred dollars, and high- quality pipes made from expensive materials can go well into four figures (dollars *or* pounds!). If you're going to be at all serious about playing you should avoid cheap imitations - with cheap pipes, you get exactly what you pay for. A set of good-quality pipes from a reputable maker can be had new for about $1000. A good used set can cost less. If you want fancy silver or ivory ornamentation the price explodes. You can always get pipes directly from the maker, and you can also get pipes from many of the suppliers in the resource list (see Part 2).

Previous:	I live in the Aleutian Islands and there are no GHB teachers here. What can I do?
Next:	I can play the practice chanter better if I finger the notes like I do on a tin whistle. That's O.K., isn't it?
