re: Cavscout's remarks about the chanter...

...one of the things that I enountered when moving on to a low D whistle and the D flute was the spacing of the holes: I had been using the pads of my fingertips with the other instruments up until then and had to learn "the piper's" style of fingering using more of the finger and less of the pad. It's a definite adjustment for the average woodwind player.
