Bagpipes Scottish Practice Chanter

I will reserve final judgement until I can compare with other chanters. I had a chanter as a child, and that was certainly easier to play than this piece of plastic. It looks like it's made out of recycled materials. The reed chamber is small, so takes quite a bit of puff to make the right sound. Yes, puff is needed for bagpipes, but learning to play a tune is one thing, learning to fill the bag is another - this chanter offers no compromise. In fact, you're quite likely to blow the chanter out of your mouth, mid-note, rather than play a tune. For breathing it's great - for playing a tune - forget it - five sustained bars in, and that's it! If I'm lucky, I can get the first three bars of Highland Cathedral out of it - then I have to rest, before starting again. If you want to exercise your lungs, then fine, if you want to play a tune, from start to finish - don't bother.

Very well made. Feels terrific under the fingers. Perfectly in tune. Personally I love the shape. Arrived incredibly quickly.

Says good quality, but it isn't at all.You get what you pay for. Thought being made in Scotland would mean otherwise.

Reed is terrible and it's poor quality overall

It holds the tones well whal is very useful and helpful for bagpipe beginners like me :-)

poor quality would not buy another one.

great product
