Does anyone know of any bagpipe albums I could buy? Not massed pipes (i.e. lots of pipes, sometimes up to 100), but 2 or 3. I really like the Triumph Street Band, from Canada, but I don't think they have any albums. But that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. They have a "pure, clear sound" (as a reviewer put it) that I like.

In the Breton tradition the combo of Bombard and Biniou Koz is found, and there are albums of duos playing these. Strictly speaking only the Biniou Koz is a bagpipe (chanter), but the sound of both is "bagpipish". Leaving this as a comment - you can follow lists of names in the Bombard article to investigate further.– AngstCommented Aug 13, 2020 at 20:13

A search for "Bagpipe trio" turned up
- The Griff Trio
- The Great Highland Bagpipe: Solos, Duos, Trios, Quartets & More - Piping Variations (the track list includes artist names and would provide fodder for additional searches)

- Moebius, "August"
A search for "Bagpipe quartet":
- The winners and list of participants in the 2019 Piping Live! Glasgow International Piping Festival. That list could be searched to see which groups have albums available.
- The above site also includes the 2007, 2016, and 2017 winners and participants.
If one bagpiper is enough you could listen to Christina Pato (she plays Galician pipes). She recorded at least one album ("Latina"), but there's also plenty of her music on YouTube, for example:
