It depends what your want to some degree. 800 on up. after all was said and done and i got a case with black wood pipes with engraving and ivory i was out about 1800 bucks. It all starts with a practice chanter tho thats only about 75-100 you learn and practice on that then you get the bag and pipes etc.. So i suppose for a minimal investment one can try there hand at it.
I got lucky on lessons a band here teaches you for free so long as you play with them once your competant in the parades. (spelling on competant lol see what i did there)
