First time piper, never picked up a chanter before. These were very easy to tune and pick up on quickly. Sound great for the price and sure beats trying to start with an expensive full set. Cons are that the included lessons are a little out of date and the mouth piece bore seems to be slightly bigger than the chanter so I have to constantly apply and remove teflon tape to get a snug fit when I want to practice with just the chanter

Excellent little pipes for the money

Pros: Easy to tune. Moisture doesn't affect the plastic reeds, all reeds in these pipes are the same common practice chanter reeds and new ones are cheap and easy to get. Great tone for being a plastic instrument. Easy to play

Cons: no restriction valves, no bag zipper. The chanter may not always have the best scale.

All together I personally am happy with these pipes and would recommend them to anyone interested in piping on a casual level.

if your wife can't stand the practice chanter then these might the better alternative. They're by no means up to public performance standards of other parlor/kitchen pipes but they're very durable, dependable and just downright fun to play. I take them with me just about everywhere and use them when I need to get a truer sense of the music (unachievable with a squawking chanter). I also use them when I have to practice several of sets and they're small enough that I don't get "blown" and yet still get that intimate understanding of the embelishments, timing, cuts and holds while handling a somewhat bulky bag and avoiding the inadvertent cheating of "spit stopping" as I may do with a chanter. As a side note, I occassionally take them into my son's preschool and entertain the kiddies. They've held up well to the curious but destructive tendencies of 3 year olds yet the volume is soft enought that it doesn't scare them.

I received my pipes in the mail on a Wednesday. I've never played or even picked up a set before. Despite my set having come without the tutorial supplies, I managed to get them inflated, tuned, and I've learned a ton in just a few days.

These are so good that I feel like I'm actually playing pipes -- not just learning them. This is a really great set for the beginning who doesn't want to shell out a ton to find out if they want to play, and for getting your bearings.

As stated before the chanter has to be worked on but once these babies are in tune the harmonics are awesome.
