Pipe chanters and practice chanters
- short and long chanters
The Great Highland Bagpipe
When starting out to learn the pipes it is necessary to begin with a practice chanter. A fair amount of time is spent on the practice chanter before you move on to the pipes. The practice chanter is just that - a pipe chanter which is used for practice. It consists of a chanter body, a mouthpiece, and a reed. Practice chanters come in 'short' and 'long' sizes, where 'long' practice chanters are those which approximate the size of the real pipe chanter. Many people advocate the use of a long practice chanter, claiming that it's easier to transition to the pipe chanter. You will use this chanter throughout your piping life (unless a different model catches your eye) but the reed will require replacement periodically.
