I found that the o-rings on the practice chanter were a blessing. The delrin is easy to keep clean as well. I think Dunbar has some decent ones like that with countersunk holes to boot. As for learning how to prep the seal... that's just as easy on the bagpipe chanter as the practice chanter, and when I want to practice on the chanter, I just wanna whip it out an give it a go without having to fiddle with the other stuff...
