Uill, Ian-
I just want to let you know that I had the same question, so thank you for
posting it. After placing an order for headphones and Prozac, my husband (he can't
believe that he did this) ordered me a set of pipes for Christmas. I will have Gibson
smallpipes within a week. The people at Gibson told me that it will come with
information on how to use them, so I guess the first thing that I will do is read the
booklet or whatever, and bumble around. I'm not very encouraged to hear that it is
hard to learn how to play them, but I am patient and persistent. I will save your
e-mail address, and if I find anything useful for us beginners, I will be sure to let
you know.
