Hardie Twist-Trap Goose Upgrade
Playing a practice goose helps you learn to coordinate breathing and arm movements. It also makes practice less tiring. You'll enjoy the extra resonance from the bag and the seamless melodies you can create, when you don't have to pause for breath. This goose goes further than others, in that it includes adapters that can be removed to fit your full-size blowpipe and/or pipe chanter. This gives you even more ways to transition smoothly from practice chanter to bagpipes. The Twist-Trap Goose Upgrade is compatible with RG Hardie practice chanters and several other brands listed below.
Features of the Hardie Twist-Trap Goose Upgrade:
  • Set up for easy conversion
  • Canmore goose bag
  • Corduroy bag cover with zipper
  • Blowpipe and chanter stock adapters can be removed to fit your own full-size blowpipe and pipe chanter
  • Durable Polypenco construction
  • Compatible with Hardie practice chanters (also works with Dunbar, McCallum, Piper's Choice, Wallace, Frazer Warnock)
  • No practice chanter included
McCallum Practice Goose with Long Practice Chanter
This practice goose allows you to begin on the McCallum long practice chanter, then assemble the practice goose to help develop your breathing technique. The goose also makes practice easier, since arm pressure on the bag supplies air when you take a breath. The bag adds resonance to the sound, making it fuller than the sound of a practice chanter alone. Convert goose to chanter in seconds. The goose is a practice and transitional tool and can't be converted to a smallpipe or Highland bagpipe.
  McCallum Practice Goose with Long Practice Chanter:
  • Durable Polypenco construction
  • Blowpipe and chanter combine to form McCallum long practice chanter
  • Adapter with blowpipe valve
  • Plain Bannatyne synthetic bag
  • Countersunk holes
  • Includes 1 reed
  • Not compatible with bag covers
Wallace Standard Length Polypenco Practice Chanter
This is a great modern UK chanter, with good balance, clarity, and hole recognition. A logo on the chanter top proudly identifies this as a Wallace product. Made in Scotland.
Features of the Wallace Standard Poly Practice Chanter:
  • Durable Polypenco with nice finish
  • Yellow hemp seal
  • Countersunk holes
  • Wallace logo on top
  • Approximate overall length: 18.5"
  • Includes 1 reed
Gibson Long African Blackwood Practice Chanter
Gibson has designed one of the most balanced chanters available.  Plus, the Gibson reed accepts more air, which allows for better volume and reduces reed shut-off. Made in the USA.
Features of the Gibson Long Blackwood Practice Chanter: 
  • Polypenco top
  • Stainless steel ferrule (requires less maintenance than nickel)
  • Hemped joint
  • African Blackwood bottom
  • Countersunk holes

Hardie Regular Length Polypenco Practice Chanter with Twist-Trap
This is a nice chanter from RG Hardie, a longstanding name in the bagpipe world. The chanter is in 3 parts. The third part is the Twist-Trap water trap, which helps keep moisture off the practice reed. As with all chanters, it's best to separate the parts after play, so they can dry.

  • Overall length 18.5"
  • Twist-Trap water trap
  • Durable Polypenco construction
  • Hemped seal
