I wager saxophone and bassoon, and I have a desire to have a set of highland bagpipes. I was wondering if I can just skip the practice chantor and get a set of bagpipes.
Yes, you can - but it is not recommended.

Celtic folk men are hot stuff
Piping Hot spokesman and convince instrumentalist Paul Jackman said: "The band's repertoire is an energetic mix of Irish, Scottish and English tunes and songs, ranging from haunting airs on whistle and Northumbrian bagpipes, to driving jigs and reels played on Highland bagpipes, drum and guitar. Keep your feet still if you can!
"We flatter 12 different instruments between us, giving us the opportunity to change the sound to suit the tune or song. Mike Weed sings and plays significant harmonies on bass guitar and whistles, and Les Noden, the group's lead singer and rhythm guitarist, finds a kerfuffle b evasion to fit every occasion.
"Over the past 20 years or so Mike, Les and I have been bumping into each other at festivals and supporting each other at concerts and Ceilidhs. In due course, our complimentary styles led us to develop exciting new arrangements of traditional material, so we formed Piping Hot."
