'No reed fitted' for a new chanter by A Ginsberg, sold by his brother?

It's a B flat chanter.

Is Alan's health an issue? If I were a pipemaker (sung to a tune from "Fiddler on the Roof"

), I don't think I would want a new stick of mine out there without knowing that it left home with a good reed. It seems to me, IMHO, that part of finishing a chanter is voicing and reeding it, much the same way that new cars come from the factory with a motor.

The D chanter (with reed) is here:

Just a quick question. Are the holes on the Bb chanter the normal size?

I'd love a Bb chanter but the fact that it's unreeded would put me off. I agree with daveboling that a new chanter should at least have a reed.

Does anyone have the dimentions for a Ginsberg Bb reed?

I asked about it and it was a mistake

Mike Ginsberg changed it on Ebay

Its not a new chanter hence no reed.

cheers

Maybe amend the statement to 'a chanter made and sold by the maker should have a working reed included'.

They look unusually large to me.

I agree with that very much

He has the same photos up for both chanters. Looks like the D to me.

PD.
