    As far as not getting the noise out of the chanter, yes it was the reed. I looked at a few different things, and it was definitely the reed. While I don't have a lot of experience with pipes, I am able to troubleshoot pretty well. Mark is shipping me a new chanter reed.

    Edit to add:

    I am dying to get my hands on an electronic chanter. I have always wanted to play the pipes, but don't have the lungs. Uillean pipes might be an option eventually, but one thing I really like about the electronic pipes is that some of them have midi capability.
