Might I suggest looking for a Caledonian Society or something of the like in your area. ( or nearest large city) That way you can speak to someone with experience face to face. And possibly get involvedwith the local group/society. Where abouts are you located???? And I will see what i can dig up for you...

Here is a link for individual pipers in your general area! They have telephone numbers, and email addresses attached to them. Maybe you can call one of them and ask some questions, or if they are playing publicly you can go see them perform!
