Title: Great for Decoration, Not for Playing
Review: I had this chanter and used it for a few weeks before I had to buy a better one. It really is beautiful with the nice looking wood and metal scroll-work. However, real practice chanters are usually made of plastic (looks very similar to a clarinet). After I got through a few lessons, I found it very hard to get my fingers on the correct holes because I couldn't really feel them since the wood is so smooth. My teacher suggested a plastic one by Gibson- it was so much easier to play because of the slightly bigger holes and the fact that the holes are slightly recessed. I highly recommend finding a bagpipe teacher FIRST and having the teacher make a recommendation for a practice chanter. The good quality ones are still under $100 and definitely worth the investment!
