Product Description

Our most popular brand new practice chanter. This traditional sized practice chanter has an engraved nickeled ferrule & sole and a rosewood body. It is in the key of B-flat. Played by itself, this is the first step to learning the bagpipes. The audio CD and cassette tape tutorial can be used alone or to accompany the book. The CD and cassette tape follow the book from page one to the beginning of chapter 8. The rest of chapter 8 and all of chapters 9 and 10 are not on the CD or cassette tape.

Do yourself a favor and purchase a quality product - RYAN MCCLIMON, Oct 26, 2009

The practice chanter I received is out of tune past C and is cheaply made. The original reed did not function correctly and completely disintegrated upon removal. After purchasing and installing a quality Gibson reed the chanter is playable, but as I said, out of tune.

The included book an CD are not bad and fairly helpful.


I think most people would be better off saving up and purchasing a decent instrument from a recognized manufacturer (Dunbar, Gibson, etc.).

Can you hear me now? - T. E. Grogan, Sep 19, 2009

I had previously purchased cheaper versions of one of these, and it wasnt a real instrument, just a cheap toy. This is a good quality instrument that a person can learn on. Good tone, book and CD are very helpful.

So far so good - M. Greeley, Apr 03, 2009

I purchased this chanter nearly three weeks ago. I have used it roughly an hour or two everyday. The product is attractive and well made. I've heard that people have had issues with the wooden chanters being out of tune- I have had no such issue. I have had difficulty separating the chanter after use. I looked to adjust the reed, and the strings holding the piece together came apart requiring me to purchase another reed. Aside from this mishap I have been quite pleased with the product and the accompanying material.

Half and Half - P. Brook, Jan 10, 2007

I found the practice chanter hard to blow and difficult to separate. It looked better than it sounded. However the book and CD were helpful and easy to understand.
