Here’s the new chanter set up to play with some of my smallpipe drones. You could call it a Border chanter but it’s really an A Highland chanter with a very quiet reed. I’m making these on request and they can be made to play loud, in a GHB, or quiet, in a set of border or smallpipe drones. It’s not meant to be a historical reproduction, just a chanter on which someone with Great Highland Bagpipe experience can play with other instruments.

I wrote a 5/8 bagpipe duet and don’t know what it’ll end up being used for but here it is, played on this chanter, double tracked, but without any reverb or effects:
