hmm.. Had a look through their site.. Kinda seems a bit gimicky to me.. $225 for a practicee chanter and $335 for a pipe chanter??? Really? I doubt there's much improvement over poly to warrant those prices? If I had $335 to spend on a pipe chanter Id get a Strathmore blackwood and still have money left for a case of beer! LOL!

Yeh thought that too but was more interested in the sound quality and performance in various weather conditions

I would suspect the sound quality would be nothing special.. At best equal to wood. As far as weather goes. It's the reed weather effects not so much the chanter..

My friend has one, the whistle sounds really good. He has several of the tin kind and he really loves the carbon one too.

the only up-side to that company that I've really seen it the range of tunings offered. Other than that everything I've seen from them sounds like really good wood, even the whistles.

I have one of his hi-D whichstles and really like it. I get a lot of complements on teh tone from other players. It's not real loud so gets lost in a large session but seeing as how I'm only 2 years into whistling, that might be a good thing.
