Purchased directly from the maker, Murray Henderson, for solo gig use, but I never used it- I just used my band-issued chanter.
This chanter has all the great features and design as the blackwood model, but is made from polypenco. It gives a lovely warm sound and is very suitable for those on a budget, but wish a top quality plastic chanter.
It is an easy-to-reed chanter and sits very comfortably around the pitch of 480Hz (453Hz), the range most popular with the world’s top solo players. You can go higher or lower with reed selection and use of tuning tape.
The finger spacing was designed to give the player a comfortable, natural finger spread.
No alterations have been done to the chanter, it’s as I received it from Murray.
I paid £155 including shipping for it, about $204 USD.
It can be yours for $130 including insured shipping anywhere in the USA.
