Daisy,

The Northumbrian Pipers Society has a limited number of sets available for loan/hire but there is likely to be a waiting list.

The styles for playing smallpipes and Uillean are totally different. I suspect anyone with small hands such as mine are likely to find the smallpipes more appropriate [the G set chanter is very small]. The F set is the norm however.

Good luck.
