Strathmore Wooden Pipe Chanter

The Strathmore pipe chanter was designed by Murray Henderson, and it has been played by Murray and other top pipers to win many prestigious awards in solo competitions in Scotland and throughout the world.

It is an easy-to-reed chanter and sits very comfortably around the pitch of 480Hz (453Hz), which is about the range that most of the world's top solo players use.

You can go higher or lower with reed selection and use of tuning tape. Should you have a specific pitch in mind, speak to Murray to disscuss the possibilities. 

The finger spacing was designed to give the player a comfortable, natural finger spread.

The chanter was reviewed by Bill Livingstone (world renowned soloist and P-M) for pipes |drums magazine, and you can read all the good things he had to say here.

This chanter has all the great features and design as the blackwood model above, but is made from polypenco. It gives off a lovely warm sound and is very suitable for those on a budget, but wish a top quality plastic chanter.
