This padded drum bag offers an extra layer of protection, helping to prevent scuffs and scrapes. Two handles make maneuvering the drum easier. The case accommodates all 28 x 12, 28 x 14, and 28 x 16 drum styles we offer from Andante, Pearl, and Premier. Tuxedo bags are made by Humes & Berg.

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 Wallace Poly pipe chanter was developed by Craig Munro, who also plays with St. Laurence O'Toole and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. This is the chanter included with Wallace bagpipes. 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.

This version of the Naill Poly Pipe Chanter is considered best for soloists, and it's the one that comes standard on most Naill bagpipes.  The Naill Poly chanter has excellent harmonics and is very responsive. Naill pipe chanters are made in England by David Naill & Co.
