I bought this right before Shepherd went out of business. This chanter has been heavily carved, particularly on the lower hand, please see the photos.
I’ve always gotten compliments on the sound of this chanter. This particular chanter has played a few weddings, and has always contrasted nicely against my McCallum drones. It liked a Shepherd reed (small wonder!), but I’ve never tried it with a Broadley reed although I have no reason to believe it wouldn’t work with one. I’ve also had success with G1 reeds in this chanter.
Selling at a lower price than I normally would not only for a Shepherd chanter, but for one with an imitation ivory chanter, only because of the heavy carving. What’s nice though is that carved chanter holes can always be taped!
Asking $150 before shipping, with shipping being at the buyers expense. I will ship anywhere within the CONUS. If you need more pictures or have any questions, please reach out.
