The answer is reeds. The making of pipes is a relaively simple opperation compared to making a fiddle. But the really hard part is making reeds, getting the right kind of cane, the right kind of humidity, the time to do it etc. If you can't make reeds then the pipes will go in the bin or be used to keep you warm on the fire.
