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 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 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.

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.

The Ross bag has a suede-like, red exterior that offers good grip and, plus vibrance and harmonics. It's heavier than most synthetic bags, but lighter than hybrids. The bag requires no seasoning and is virtually maintenance free. Plus, it's more hygienic and has a longer lifespan than most hide bags. The zipper is easier to pull and requires only a dab of lubricant at the end. The zipper is angled for minimum contact with your arm.

Installation Tip:  Over-tightening the clamp can damage the chanter stock.
