anyone who reads this board almost by definition is someone who does their research. they would know that this set is not the way to go. most of the market for stuff like this is impulse buyers.
the other day a guy knocks on my door- was drawn to the sound of my SSP and identified himself as a "fellow bagpiper". turns out he impulse bought a pakistani set of GHB (at a Highland Games) and has sort of figured them out. must of had deaf neighbors to get away with that. did not know that there was such a thing as a practice chanter. did not know that there were good tutors available.
the purveyor of the set may end up doing alot better financially than many of our respected makers. just galls you.

I was a local club meeting the other day when one of our newer players came in with a cardboard box, opened 'er up and took out a plastic set of practice pipes..and tried to tune 'em up to play...initially I was taken aback because I thought the poor bugger had actually bought one of these aforementioned plastic creatures...it turned out to be one of Rogge's plastic chanters. I didn't get a chance to hear the chanter played as the reed as not working well, the newbie couldn't play any of our tunes at the moment...and I had to leave early for a Dr. appointment!
On that "note"..what have people's experiences with the rogge' budget sets been? He has a good reputation, and I find it hard to imagine he'd put out something that wasn't quality gear. Are there any owners out there willing to contribute constructive comments?
