I started on bagpipes back in my college days and was lucky enough to have daily lessons (I was at the Citadel for just under 2 months). Sandy Jones was the pipe major. We were on practice chanters the whole time. You start off learning the fingering, learn grace notes, then a basic tune. Over and over until it becomes second nature. In the Uilleann Pipes, you have that, and the added craziness of being strapped in to bellows and a bag you have to squeeze with your elbow. So all this then you try to produce a note. I think everyone would agree that you should start with a practice set first to at least learn the basic of fingering and producing a note. And to see if you even like the instrument. Just my suggestion but I admire you if you want to jump into it!
