Our most popular practice chanter, this traditional sized practice chanter has an engraved nickeled ferrule & sole and a rosewood body. It is in the key of B-flat. Wood Grains may vary. Played by itself, this is the first step to learning the bagpipes. This set includes a reed, book and a CD with teaching medthods developed by Pipe Major R.T. Shepard. The book includes photographs of finger positions, exercises, melodies & more. The audio CD tutorial can be used alone or to accompany the book. The CD follows the book from page one to the beginning of chapter 8. The rest of chapter 8 and all of chapters 9 and 10 are not on the CD.
