R.G. Hardie Solo Pipe Chanter
Updated in 2024 with insights from Callum Beaumont, this chanter was originally designed in 2006 by Alastair Dunn, a Double Gold Medalist and 10-time World Champion with the Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band.
 
Renowned for its winning solo sound, this chanter features meticulously sanded finger holes that replicate the feel of a vintage chanter. It then undergoes a rigorous polishing process to ensure optimal smoothness and playability.
 
Designed to produce a rich, resonant tone, this chanter delivers superb harmonics that blend seamlessly with any set of drones.
Each chanter comes complete with a reed, reed protector, and a deluxe box.
 
⚠️ Please note: If a sole is selected, the chanter will not fit inside the deluxe box, so the box will not be included. The price is adjusted accordingly.
