buying a chanter kit

[AndrewLenzJr]

Darren, not to worry, no offense taken. But yes, talk to me AFTER you've moved to the full set of pipes!


Waaaaaay different animal to a practice chanter. With a practice chanter, you can blow and blow and blow and only need to take a breath because you've run out of oxygen, not air in your lungs. With pipes, you blow, breathe, blow, breathe, blow, you get a headache, spots swim before your eyes and you get dizzy . . . but it gets easier over the course of months.


Though you are right about Tuba, I haven't played it. I didn't (and won't) rule out it maybe helping but pipes are pretty different.
