Years ago, as a sort of joke, I was gifted with a chanter just like that one. It sounded awful. Squeaky, squawky, and out of tune.

I put it in my closet and forgot about it.

Several years later, I took up learning in earnest. I fought a Gibson practice chanter and began studying with my local band.

A couple years after that I found that old, Pakistani chanter in my closet. On a whim I pulled it out and gave it a whirl. It sounded.....not great, but okay. Playable. Tunes were recognizable.

I suspect that these are much more sensitive to steady pressure and proper technique than a properly bored chanter.

So...I'll repeat the previous recommendations. Get a good PC, Gibson or Dunbar or McCallum. Polypenco is fine. No need to spring for blackwood.
