    Our selection of bagpipes (Scottish, Uillean, and more) is generally limited to used/consigned items. Please contact us to inquire about our current stock.

    J. Dunbar Polypenco bagpipes are available by special order.

    Practice Chanters

    If you're getting started learning bagpipes, you usually want to begin with a practice chanter before purchasing a full set of pipes.

    Dunbar Polypenco Practice Chanter
    Made in Canada by J. Dunbar. Durable black delrin. These require more air than the rosewood chanters, but have more volume and richer tone (they are also fairly indestructable!). Includes Warnock practice chanter reed. Extra-long and child's length Dunbar practice chanters are available by special order -- please contact us.

      $75.00

    Pakistani-made practice chanters Rosewood Practice Chanter, Pakistani-made
    (includes reed) This is a nice basic practice chanter that is easy to play.

      $30.00

    Also available in a package with an instructional book & CD by Pipe Major R.T. Shepherd

      $39.95
