Great Highland Bagpipes, Chanters & Accessories

practice chanter

The CarbonyTM practice chanter with counter sunk finger holes speaks volumes above standard softwood or petroleum products. The base chanter is carbon fiber with stainless steel fitments. Accurate finger placement and tuning is key for this product. Available with true size countersunk  or easy play small  finger holes.

The Great Highland A440 whistle is our latest addition to this family, its a performance quality alternative to the practice chanter.  A true 440 instrument that plays with exact fingering of the Great Highland Bagpipe with the whistles ability to play two octaves.  The highland scale in A matches the key signature of a D whistle and has perfect intonation for sitting in an Irish session.  Comes with a fingering chart and is also available in B and Bb.
