This book is directed primarily to newer pipers esp anyone who cannot afford an expensive all in one system such as a ross canister bag but has a very basic set of pipes with an inexpensive mass produced bag – and all the subsequent issues that lead to frustration. From personal experience I have been able to take dozens of low end pipes and through proper care and improvement render them more functional and playing consistently with a reasonable quality sound so that the beginner can learn and take enjoyment from their pipes until they are ready for a high end set.
