The full bagpipe is a complex instrument — bag pressure, drone tuning, the coordination of breath and fingers across a melody pipe — and the chanter is how you learn the melody first, in isolation, before the rest of it arrives. Bagpipes of Caledonia understood this and built a beginner kit around it: a practice chanter designed to teach finger placement and tuning with the patience the instrument demands. A piece of Scottish musical tradition in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a vintage Bagpipes of Caledonia chanter kit is a more specific and considered folk instrument find than most.
