I agree with using poly for bands are ok, but I would love to have a good balckwood chanter for solo. I started on the practice chanter a year ago, but already have weddings and partys to pipe solo. Would be great to get that beautiful sound that I some times hear.

I know it's a lot of technique, but I did compare my blackwood practice chanter with a poly one. That was a huge difference in the comfort of playing!
