Anyone with an opinion on a good narrow bore D chanter?
I would eventually like to upgrade my narrow bore chanter. I know Wooff is the narrow bore Elvis, but his wait puts me at 58 years old when I get one. Has anyone had any experience with narrow bore chanters from other makers such as Rogge, Bagpipeworks, or anyone else?
thanks,
Dave

He models narrow bore chanters in style of Coyne and Harrington. Fine workmanship and attention to historical detail. I have a narrow bore D which has great tone, however I am sending it back for more work...the best tuning I have is sharp and the C natural is off ..so he is opening the bore some...we believe the chanter has closed somewhat with climate change from Wash to NJ. Other than that the chanter has great tone. Plays easy and lends itself to a more staccato style of play. There are photoes of his work on the OBssesion site. Caution...he loves to talk on the phone...you will get a history lesson ....interesting character....I am too green just yet to give you a solid opinion of his pipes yet he has a good reputation and does magnificant work. He is a Woeff protoge'
Tell him Phil reccomended him and he'll give you a dollar off. Artichoke music carries his pipes....I think there is one in stock now. Good Luck
