Piping Progression

[Ozark Ridge Rider]

I also am trying to learn, and have pipers who will help but are not close. Got a mcCallum practice chanter, and countersunk the holes a bit more so I can feel them better.

Was fortunate that a parishoner friend of my daughter's loaned me an old set of Dallas pipes with a Hardy chanter. I also am far from being a piper, but those pipes sound great (the tone, I mean, not the playing)

You're fortunate to have tutors so close.

I also made a practice chanter out of the Hardy with a piece of plastic pipe, a wine cork, and a small plastic tube. Helps to get the feel of the larger holes in the Hardy.
