This Peter Henderson chanter, designed for soloists, is crafted from quality African Blackwood to achieve the rich sound competing solo pipers seek. This pipe chanter also comes with a plastic reed protector and a nice storage case with the Peter Henderson logo in a gold foil.

RedWood reeds get their color from Padouk wood. The carbon fiber bass tongue and glass fiber tenors produce a bass-forward sound with well balanced tenor drones. Normal moisture issues will be well managed by the absorbent natural bodies, and the carbon fiber bass tongue should help with stability in wet conditions. Made in France.

The Dunbar long practice chanter is a quality practice chanter from J. Dunbar Bagpipes, pioneers in Polypenco bagpipe products. The Dunbar long is sort of an extra long chanter, as it's a bit longer than other long chanters. It has very good intonation and achieves great volume with a Gibson reed. Dunbar chanters are made in St Catherines, Ontario, Canada.

The Shepherd Orchestral Pipe Chanter is pitched at 466 Hz, concert pitch Bb. This is the older traditional pitch of the bagpipe. The lower pitched chanter allows the bagpipe to be played with other instruments in the key of Bb. The orchestral chanter has been on the market since 2006. You may need drone reed extenders or low-pitch drone reeds to bring the drones in line with the chanter.

Designed to re-create the sound of cane, Canning Drone Reeds generate rich harmonics. The full bass and resonant tenors complement each other magnificently. This superior quality of sound combined with the consistent quality of production make Canning reads an excellent choice.
