This style of practice set offers a relatively low cost and still high quality entry level set of Uilleann pipes

You have a couple of options that can vary the price a little. They are based on whether you choose a traditional leather bag or a less expensive synthetic leather one.

The chanters cost €750 and €825 with a key.

Compared to my usual D chanter, these ‘simpler’ style chanters do not have key blocks to hold metal keys, nor a wooden top and the decorative mounts are a little more simplistic too.

Less time saves money so as a result the prices below reflect this.

STARTER PRACTICE SET PRICES
