Hello I have a question I am looking for
Uilleann pipes Practice Set
Only pipe 1
The main pipe - playing with it
I do not need a full set because it's just playing solo - music
It is possible to find around 300-400 dollars
Including blower and BAG.?
Thanks
With any suggestions are welcome thank you.

You probably won't find anything playable for $300-$400. There are cheap "made in Pakistan" sets on ebay but they are virtually unplayable, and you'll only waste your money.
You should budget at least $1,000. Be suspicious of anything cheaper.

I think the majority of pipers would argue that when playing solo, a full set is your only man.
As PJ said, at your budget there's little chance of getting anything worth playing.

There's a website,
uilleannobsession.com, with a section for buying/selling pipes.
There's also a
facebook group for buying/selling uilleann pipes.

Although it's a UK only auction maybe the seller would be worth contacting to see if he could do something for you, pipes look good and sound good for a great price.
