The Gibson R-101-BN Long Plastic Practice Chanter with Engraved Nickel Sole builds on the popular long poly practice chanter design, featuring a thicker profile and solid engraved nickel fittings that reflect the appearance and balance of our premium wooden practice chanters.
 
The increased diameter gives the chanter a more substantial feel in the hands, while the engraved nickel sole and ferrule add a refined, traditional finish. Together, these elements create a practice chanter with a more high-end presence while maintaining the durability, stability, and consistency of poly construction.
 
This model is often chosen by players who want a practice chanter that more closely resembles the feel and visual style of our wooden models, without moving to a wooden instrument.
 
Like all Gibson practice chanters, it is designed to be treated as a complete instrument rather than a disposable training tool, offering dependable performance for both developing and experienced pipers.
