I've got a set of paki pipes. They were the only ones I could afford. If your bag is anything like the one I got Get a new bag.

If you haven't done it already, go around to your local science store (the one the high school science teachers go to) and buy a set of rubber stoppers to fit all the short posts sticking out of the bag (these are called 'drone stocks') except the one where the blow stick goes. Now blow up the bag. The bag should stay inflated pretty well even when you squeeze it. If it doesn't - try to find the leaks. If the leaks are at the cords tied around the drone stocks, get electrical tape and bind these joints really tightly. Try again. If still leaking - get a new bag.
