Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I play the bagpipes. Badly. I can't find anyone else who plays them to help me out. Anyone out there play the pipes? Help maybe? Rawr, I guess I'll just go practice. Bagpipes for the win.

Clearly, you're not in Scotland. I don't go a single day without seeing someone with bagpipes. Check these sites for a teacher near you:

And, since dr1v3thru mentioned kilts... even though I'm not Scottish, I have picked up a few things since I've been living here. FYI, don't commit a tartan/kilt faux pas. If you're in a band, follow the uniform. If you're outfitting yourself, try to find a reputable kilt hire shop - they usually have salespeople who know how to dress someone properly. Otherwise, do your research (there are several books published on the subject). Since bagpipe playing + kilts usually means a formal occasion, don't go for cheap kilts becuase it won't look formal. A real kilt is at least seven yards of wool - heavy, warm, and pricey. Also, unless you are affiliated with a Scottish/Irish family name or district that has a tartan, stick to the universal tartans - Blackwatch (dark blue and green) and Royal Stewart (red; this is the most common for independent bagpipers) or the "for anyone" tartans on this page. Some tartans are restricted and occasionally you might meet people who are a bit touchy about it. More advice can be found here.
