If he plays highland pipes, perhaps you should be asking this question on a Scottish forum. For $70 you could sew up his kilt for him, just for the entertainment value. Or perhaps some fancy garters to keep those knee-high socks up when he's parading.

Is your boyfriend an uilleann piper or a highland piper? I would think a good economical gift for a musician would be some CD's. Of course, if he has an extensive CD collection, he might already have alot of the good ones. One I could suggest is called "Piping in Ireland-A celebration of two traditions." It has both highland and uillean piping so will be interesting to him no matter what he plays. Also not a CD he likely has since pipers tend to get CD's that are by the big players of their own instrument. Another more scottish/european flavor CD would be the "Grand Concert of Piping" probably Vol 2 would have an interesting mix of different types of European pipes as well as scottish pipes. No irish pipes though. Or you could always get him a gift certificate for a big CD store. You could get either of the above titles online. Just search on the titles and you will come up with some specialty distributors that will have them. Good luck!

To quote National Public Radio personality Baxter Black, retired large animal veterinarian and cowboy poet:
"Beer is always a good idea."
For irish Uilleann piping CDs, go to the music shop at uilleannobsession.com, there's bound to be something lovely in there. Brian MacNamara's new CD "Fort of the Jewels" is just out and it might be of interest to him.

He wasn't rude. Djm was joking. Obviously.
Is your boyfriend a scottish or irish piper? Because you have been asked three times, and have failed to give an answer.
I am betting scottish. Good for him if so. But this is a UILLEANN (ie irish) pipe board.
Also, you should know that there is a friendly (mostly ) rivalry between irish and scottish pipers. Or at least some of them.
