FS/FT B flat chanter

Post by Oldemanwinters »

Hi all, I have a Chris Bayley B flat chanter either for sale or for trade for a concert pitched chanter. If anyone is interested I will send pics. For sale for $500 plus shipping but hopefully can find a trade first.

Tell us something.: I am haunted by Uilleann Pipes. Been so for years. I have an Irish background and have played Trad on guitar in a duet long ago. Just started on the UPs in Feb of 2017!

I think he is asking if the key is Bb, or is it a B "flat" chanter ("flat" being generic term for any chanter below the key of D).

Yes, because people often speak of "B flat chanters" when they are referring to flat chanters in the key of B (natural).

It's ambiguous because people also say "B flat chanters" when speaking of chanters in the key of Bb.

Not ambiguous to say "flat chanter in Bb" or "flat chanter in B natural".

I'd love to have a chanter in the key of Bb but it would have to be bang-on in Concert Bb.
