Welcome to the Poor Piper Reference Pages

This section is where you'll find tips for getting the most out of your Piping experience, how-to buld it information and basic Bagpipe instruction. The basic Bagpipe instruction section will provide the beginner with most of what he/she needs to get started. However, it is strongly advised that a beginner seek out a qualified instructor in his/her area, as there is no substitute for in-person instruction. If this is difficult or impossible due to finances or living in an isolated area, we are in the process of collecting names of instructors and assistant instructors who are willing to provide remote lessons either by telephone or snail-mail exchange of cassettes or video tapes.
If anyone finds information in the reference section of this website that is inaccurate, incomplete, or could be worded better for a more clear understanding, please send your corrections or updates to:
