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.

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.

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.

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.
