Purchased a practice chanter - what shall I do next?

As most have already stated in their posts, find a teacher, one that will correct mistakes early, (unless you have an exceptional ear), you will make mistakes. Then practice, practice, practice.
Good luck.

There is a surprising number of pipe bands in Denmark, although most of them seem to be located at a considerable distance from you. The closest one to you is probably the Aarhus Pipes and Drums. It would be worth your while to contact (http://www.aapd.dk/) them to see if you could get lessons, even if you could only get there once or twice a month.

I started in May and thought the same thing. The first thing I did was buy a terrible chanter that the pipe band I joined made me give a Viking funeral. If that is a picture of what you bought, I think you're going to have the same problem.

Next, I learned things all sorts of wrong. As an adult, it's hard to unlearn something once you learn it the wrong way.

I would search for local pipe bands as many are very helpful in teaching new pipers.

If that is not an option, check out www.pipersdojo.com. I have played with them a little and they seem OK. If anyone on here has feedback on Piper's Dojo, I'd love to hear it.
