Long Blackwood Gibson Practice Chanter

this is a beautiful chanter, with a nice solid sound. I have a poly practice chanter, but wanted a nicer instrument. This chanter has a great feel and sound, and good craftsmanship. the gibson reed that came with it did not work and the company would not replace it, but as far as the chanter, i am thrilled to have a better sounding one for practice.

My son loves it and takes care of it. It's worth the price if you're serious about learning the pipes.

The best Chanter ever

Absolutely love this thing, I know people say early in piping it doesn't really matter if you go wood or poly and that they sound the same but it's not true. The wood is warmer and a little quieter and a gorgeous piece of work. Jerry does some find work, get 'em while he's still kicking 'em out.

Works like a champ. Love the tone of wood.

Very Happy!

I've got the same chanter, only in cocobola wood. Great sound, great balance with the Gibson reed.If you're just starting, the long poly chanter is actually where I would suggest starting, but, if you want the "wow" factor of ABW, and have a case to protect it.. this is a sweet instrument. Beware, drop it once on the tile floor, and you'll be back here ordering another one.
