For Beginners<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t need a full set of bagpipes to begin! All that\u2019s required is a practice chanter, a recorder-like instrument that lets you learn fingering and embellishments before transitioning to a full set of pipes. Even experienced pipers use the practice chanter to perfect new tunes and keep their skills sharp. If you don\u2019t own a chanter, Matt can recommend reliable options for purchasing one.<\/p>\n
