It is a very nice chanter. I wonder what model it is? I&#8217;m inclined to think it is, or very similar to, the regular McCallum chanter, MK2 with slightly oval holes (what is apparently shipped with most of their pipes, only in delrin). I&#8217;ve got high G down to D taped, and C could have used just a teeny bit too, so it&#8217;s certainly amenable to taping in a band situation. It has a Husk reed in it and I&#8217;ve got the Crozier glass tongued reeds in my Gellaitry&#8217;s. I&#8217;ve got the only competition I go to coming up in mid-November so I&#8217;m practicing for that. Instead of &#8216;mastering&#8217; in Audacity (which as of late has me wondering if it&#8217;s exporting at the same quality that was recorded), this post I&#8217;m trying <a href=\"http:\/\/audioslicer.sourceforge.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">AudioSlicer<\/a> which just cuts your mp3 into pieces based on silence and hopefully preserves the original quality).
