Description
The practice set is a great way to get started on the uilleann pipes and is easily upgradable to a half or full set. Our practice sets come fitted with a rim stock and adaptor (see pics), which means that if drones are later added to make a half set, they can simply be plugged in. The windway of the chanter for the practice set can come with or without a stop key. The stop key is also a good option if you plan to upgrade to a half set.
The chanter has good volume and very musical. It has a great action to play and the notes roll out very well. Great sounding back D and hard D and very good overall tuning throughout the two octaves. Every chanter comes with two keys as standard – F natural and C natural – reeded of course.
The bag is hand made and stitched by world renowned bag maker Lawrence Thomson to a template which we’ve developed to give the player maximum comfort when playing.
The luxury hand made bellows are fully padded with hand-sewn plush leather cushions on the front and back to ensure comfort and ease of play. The bellows are made from the highest quality components to ensure many years of great playing.

I waited a long time to be able to purchase Uilleann pipes and boy am I glad I got a Fred Morrison set. Fantastic pipes and customer service has been top notch.

After 3 month using my practice set, which is very easy to play I am now thinking about buying the full set ;)
I really like the tune and the quality of that pipe, the very low air consumption make it very easy to learn!

I’m a highland bagpipe player who has been playing this practice set for about the last 9 months – couldn’t be more pleased. Finding a set to buy was daunting, I have no regrets about going with this one. It sounds great, and the customer service was great as well! I’ve been able to get a few tunes going, and have made my own medleys of hymns that I’ve been able to play at church functions and family gatherings. I hope to be upgrading to the full set sometime in the future.
