Shepherd chanters have an established history with award-winning bands and solo pipers.  This is the classic version of the Shepherd Blackwood pipe chanter.  Shepherd chanters are made in Scotland by RT Shepherd and Son.

This light-blowing practice reed is a great fit for most chanters and a customer favorite. This reed also pairs well with older wooden chanters and UK-made chanters.

We believe a great reed should be easy to find. We store and select reeds with care. For pipe chanter and practice chanter reed details and compatibility, see our Reed Chart.

The Peter Henderson plastic band chanter was designed by Alastair Dunn of Field Marshal Montgomery, winners of multiple World Pipe Band Championships. The makers of the chanter indicate that it has been made "to generate a bright robust sound with maximum projection." In addition, "it produces a balance sound between all notes and is comfortable to play."

The Gibson Long Poly practice chanter is the top choice for teens and adults learning to play. It has been engineered to achieve great balance and pitch, and it is very comfortable to play.
