High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The bagpipe practice chanter is a double reed woodwind instrument in appearance somewhat like that of a recorder. Although it can be played as an instrument in its own right, its main function is as an adjunct to the bagpipe. In this respect, its purpose is twofold. First, it is the instrument which one uses to learn how to play the Great Highland Bagpipes, before one takes up the playing of the bagpipes. Secondly, after one has learned how to play the pipes, the practice chanter, as its name implies, can be used as a practice instrument. The practice chanter is essentially a long, thin piece of wood or plastic (in two parts) with a small diameter hole bored lengthwise through the center. Air is directed into and through this bore hole and passes over a reed, the vibration of which causes the sound. On the lower portion of the chanter, holes are bored into the instrument at right angles to the central bore hole. These holes are then covered or uncovered to produce the melody.
