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.
R G Hardie Deluxe Practice Chanter Case
The R.G. Hardie practice chanter bag provides excellent protection for storing a standard or long sized practice chanter along with an A4 book(chanter and book not included).

The case requires the chanter to be broken down for storage which helps dry out the chanter after every practice session.

Grab handle
A4 book pocket
Accessories zip pocket
Reed bottle storage pocket
Protective covers for the practie chanter top and bottom
Velcro fasteners for the top and bottom

Hylands Tunable Practice Chanter from the makers of Moose
The Hylands Tunable Practice Chanter is very much like most other practice chanters except it has the unique feature of a threaded tunable section. This allows quick easy tuning adjustments at any time without reed manipulation. This feature is very convenient when playing together with a tutor or a recording and especially in a group situation like a band chanter practice.
As well as the ability to easily tune, the Hylands Tunable Practice Chanter also has a few other features which set it apart from most other practice chanters.
1. The holes on the practice chanter are consistent with the spacing on most pipe chanters and are countersunk to give a good feel whilst playing.
2. The Screw-in Mouthpiece is reverse threaded. This means that the mouthpiece screws into the Top Section rather than on to it. This ensures that in the case of an unfortunate breakage, the mouthpiece needs only to be replaced rather than the whole Top Section.
3. The Ferrule and Mouthpiece Ring are made from Stainless Steel so they retain their new look and are simply cleaned using a soft cloth.
4. The Reed Seat is threaded to allow for easy adjustment and ensure the reed doesn't fall out.
5. The black plastic used in the manufacture of the practice chanter is polished to a high gloss to give a very classy finished product.
