RG Hardie Infinity B/Flat plastic highland bagpipe chanter pipes

Description

R. G. Hardie Infinity B Flat Plastic Pipe Chanter
The Infinity Bb pipe chanter was designed by Alastair Dunn and R.G. Hardie & Co. Champion Connor Sinclair. Compared to a modern pitch pipe chanter, this chanter profile has a larger shaft diameter, inspired by a 1970’s R.G. Hardie Pipe Chanter, and with small finger holes that are spaced for comfortable playing.
The chanter has been optimised to use a standard modern pipe chanter reed to pitch in the key of B flat, rather than a long bladed Bb reed.
This chanter is the perfect choice for pipers and pipe bands wishing to play in military tattoos and accompany other instruments.

R.G. Hardie Infinity Plastic Pipe Chanter
Designed in 2019 by Alastair Dunn, Double Gold Medalist and 10-time World Champion with Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band.
This chanter features smaller finger holes in comparison to our new Omega Pipe chanter. Larger holes provide more projection and a brighter sound however the size of the holes are not always comfortable for every piper. The Infinity and Omega chanters allow pipe corps to integrate and play at the same pitch.
The Infinity chanter has been extensively tested in a synthetic and leather pipe bag set-up with a range of reeds and produces a rich resonant tone that will provide superb harmonics with any set of drones. It provides optimum sound when pitched in the range 480hz to 484hz.
“A pipe chanter suitable for pipers of all abilities”

Ayr Fire Solo Pipe Chanter
The solo bagpipe has become an exceptionally refined instrument with pipers' expectations of their instrument being greater than ever.
While chanter design has improved enormously the one area that still proves to be inconsistent at best is the High G, and more specifically the 'piobaireachd High G'. Matching reed to chanter is critical to achieving the required stability to tackle some of the classic pieces in the piobaireachd repertoire. The AyrFire Chanter was crafted in collaboration with renowned piper, judge and reed maker, Colin MacLellan to overcome this problem. As well as giving the rich balanced tone that soloists expect, the unique elongated High G hole helps create stability while also giving greater scope for tuning. The fact that the High G hole is elongated means that tuning tape is normally required to cover at least half of the hole without compromising the tonal quality of the note. All chanters are supplied with a MacLellan chanter reed and a soft wood reed protector which will help prevent the build up of mould on the reed during drying out and also give longer reed life.

RG Hardie Bagpipe Chanter Reed Protector
Reed Protector also known as a false stock allows the chanter reed to dry whilst storing an instrument between use helping prevent mildew and prolonging reed life.
RG Hardie Practice Chanter Reed Protector
This reed protector is for blackwood chanters due to a common problem where the top cracks. It is very important to break down the chanter and allow the hemp to dry out. If this is not done it can cause the top to crack.
This reed protector features extra holes at the top allowing the reed to be safely stored in a pipe case while the chanter dries out after playing.
