Need help with pipes

Blame the Kilt (Wife) is now attending practices of the Kanawha Valley Pipes & Drums and wants to learn piping. She was advised to get this chanter:

I know the consensus here is for a wooden chanter (non-Pakistani). So, is this chanter any good?

Well, I play a wooden chanter, but I would say that the usual advice is for people to get a polypenco/delran/plastic one. And yes, I'm sure that one is just fine, though I've never played it.

I've got one as my backup. It's good. It's poly, so it can take a beating, and it's the long version, which I found is easier to switch over to the actual chanter. If that's what her PM said to get, I'd get it.
