Why does my chanter sound like crap?

Is it definitely Scottish Small Pipes that you want to play?

Just a thought, but what about a set of 'miniature highland bagpipes' sometimes referred to as kitchen pipes, fireside pipes or chamber pipes?

I have a set that were made by Blue McMurchie a few years back.
The ones I had made wet blown, same fingering as GHB, chanter in Bb, have one bass, one tenor and one alto drone. Reeds are not hard to find.....although not necessary as I'm still using the original set!
Great fun to play.
