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.

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.

Selbie Drone Reeds - Replacement Tongues - Set 3 The Selbie replacement reed tongues are uniquely designed so they do not need to be glued to the reed body. The tongues can be removed and cleaned of residue at any time.

This is a great modern UK chanter, with wonderful tonal balance, comfortable feel, and good volume. The long chanter is recommended for teens and adult learners for better posture and projection. A logo on the chanter top proudly identifies this as a Wallace product. Made in Scotland.

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.
