Wallace Poly Pipe Chanter
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.
Ross Suede-Feel Zipper Pipe Bag with Canister System   The Ross bag has a suede-like, red exterior that offers some grip and makes the Ross bag more like a hyprid hide/synthetic pipe bag, with vibrance and harmonics to rival a sheepskin bag. The bag requires no seasoning and is virtually maintenance free; plus it's more hygienic and has a longer lifespan than most hide bags. Installation is easier than ever, with hoses that fit into the base of the stock with a simple twist. The system or any of its parts can be removed quickly, and hoses can be taken out for regular cleaning.  An extra canister is supplied, so you'll always have a dry canister at hand. Canisters contain specific chambers for the chanter and each drone, so you can regulate moisture to all reeds by adjusting the amount of drying agent in the chambers or by turning the colored tabs on the output lid, opening or closing the moist air inlet holes. The Ross system gives you the opportunity to make fine adjustments, so you can have a system that best suits your playing style. Watch our step-by-step installation videos for helpful tips and tricks:
Features of the Ross Suede-Feel Bag with Canister System:
  • Red, suede-feel exterior offers helpful friction
  • Reliable synthetic material (no seasoning)
  • Smooth seams
  • Angled zipper positioning for convenience
  • T-zip, easy-pull zipper access
  • Moisture control to all 4 reeds
  • Ross logo and size printed in gold
  • Detailed installation instructions with pictures
  • 2 canisters
  • 1 chanter hose, 3 drone hoses
  • 1 clamp and 1 sleeve for chanter stock
  • Available in 5 Sizes (Extended Small is most popular)
  • 2 year warranty on the bag (so keep receipt)
Tips for Using the Canister System:
  • Adjust moisture level by removing or adding drying agent to any chamber
  • Remember, your chanter reed needs some moisture
  • Drier blowers can use without the chanter hose
  • Sieve the granules regularly to eliminate smallest particles
  • Vacuum out system and rinse hoses periodically to remove dust
  • Dry the granules after each use for maximum effectiveness
  • Drying agent can be put in the microwave on  plate, but the canister does not go in the microwave
  • A proper setup results in little restriction of airflow
Installation Tips: If you use the clamp and sleeve to attach the chanter stock instead of trying it in, make sure not to overtighten the clamp, as that may damage a wood stock. Note: Because the Ross Canister System has extra components, pipes fitted with the system may require a roomier pipe case.
Peter Henderson Polypenco Band Pipe Chanter
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."
Dunbar PCXL4 Long Polypenco Practice Chanter
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.
Features of the Dunbar Long Poly Chanter:
  • Overall length 21.75"
  • Durable Polypenco construction
  • Hempless O-ring seal
  • Countersunk holes
  • Includes 1 reed
Frazer Warnock Practice Chanter Reed
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.
