Entirely keyless, retaining standard Scottish smallpipe fingering from low G to high A. Integrated tuning system for precise, adjustable intonation. Return-bore design for extended range, stability and an even tone. A complimentary introductory lesson with Donald is included. How to order Pay in full: £555. This is the main ordering route. If you prefer not to pay in full when ordering, you may place a 50% deposit of £277.50. The remaining £277.50, postage and any agreed extras are payable before dispatch. Will it fit my pipes? If your pipes already have a split-stock system, yes. The chanter can be designed to interface with any receiving (bag-side) stock from 19–25 mm. For dimensions outwith that range, please enquire. If your pipes do not have a split stock, you will also require the complete split assembly, an additional £50, plus £50 for each additional stock required—one for every other chanter you wish to use with the set. Nothing extra is charged without your agreement. If you are unsure whether your pipes have a split stock, ask your pipemaker. If preferred, your pipemaker may be able to provide the required split-stock arrangement. Postage Postage for one chanter is currently £10 within the UK, £16 to Europe and £25 elsewhere. Import VAT, customs duties and local handling charges are not included.
