Why buy a chanter kit? First, a practice chanter is not a part of the bagpipes, although a set of bagpipes does have a chanter. The practice chanter condenses the complexity of a fullsize set of bagpipes (no bag, no drones = less air). Purchasing a practice chanter should be the first step in one’s preparation to learn the bagpipes. This kit includes everything you will need to get started. The next step is buying a set of bagpipes.

The Gibson practice reed, while ideally suited to Gibson practice chanters, is also an excellent reed for other brands. The blades are wide allowing for more air, thereby nearly eliminating the “shutting off” phenomenon. This design also produces a loud, full tone. Made by Gibson Classical Bagpipes.
