Virginia R. Smith - Bagpipe Links

These are piping links to sites that I actually use. I have found them all useful, entertaining and informative. Some of them are the first sites I ever read as a piping student, and the others I discovered along the way.

I hope they help you learn more about the bagpipes. I'm sure I'll be adding more. And if you find any more good links that you think should be here, let me know
