Q: Hello. Very seriously considering buying a 440 chanter. How do I get my drones down that low? Will the Bflat drone reeds get me close or do I need something else? I'd prefer not to have extenders if possible. Thnks

Asked by: David Townsend - 6/9/2020

A: In order to get your drones down to A440 you would need to use either drone reed extenders or if you have McCallum Pipes, drone extenders. These are very nice and are added to the tops of your drones...not drone reeds to lower your pitch.

Q: I have a set of RG Hardie 1980s set of pipes with Ez Drone reeds will McCallum extenders work? Thanks

Asked by: CONNIE CARSWELL - 12/19/2020

A: They may work, but it is uncertain to say. If the extenders are to small, they can be built up, but if they are to large, this would be a problem. The wholes in the top of the drones very from maker to maker. If you decide to try them and they don’t work, we would be happy to take them back for a refund.

Q: I inquired last week about when you’d be getting in the MacCallum A440 chanter. A number of us out here in Santa Cruz, CA are exploring that pitch for big pipe sessions. I’m sure you could sell at least 3-4 to us. Can you advise as to 1. if you’ve reordered, and 2. projected arrival date? Thanks a lot! Jay Salter

Q: Odd question perhaps, would I use a standard reed with this chanter? A Bb reed? A 440 reed (is there such a thing?)?

Q: Hi, im new playing Bagpipes but I play saxophone, clarinet and flute for many years, I have a quick question, what is the difference between the A 440 and Bb 466 chanter? both tune in 440 concert? its the finger position of the notes? I seem to understand that with six fingers on the chanter, what used to be an A 480 with the chanter on Bb is now a Bb 466, and with the chanter on A, what used to be an A 480 is now an A 440? always keeping the position of the six fingers in chanter, is that right? Thank you very much for the help, on the internet I can't find much information and I hope to understand that to buy the correct chanter. Thanks in advance
