Twist-Trap Goose Pipes – The Perfect Step Toward Highland Bagpipes
The Twist-Trap Goose Pipes are an ideal transitional instrument for those progressing from the practice chanter to the Highland Bagpipes. Unlike Highland Bagpipes, Goose Pipes use a practice chanter to produce sound and do not include drones, making them easier to play with less air pressure required. This allows players to focus on technique and maintaining a steady sound.
Key Features:
- Easy Transition – Helps bridge the gap between practice chanter and full Highland Bagpipes
- Lower Air Pressure – Less demanding to play, allowing for better control and endurance
- Twist-Trap Moisture Control – Prevents moisture buildup for longer, uninterrupted practice sessions
- Versatile Setup – The practice chanter can be detached and played separately
- Adaptable Design – The practice chanter and adaptors can be removed to fit a bagpipe blowpipe and pipe chanter, simulating full pipe pressure
Practice Chanter Options:
Choose from:
Junior Chanter – Best suited for children under 10 years old
Standard Chanter – Plays in B-flat
Long Chanter – Pitched in the key of A
(If you already own a Hardie practice chanter, you can opt for a set without one.)
📌 Please note: The set does not include a bagpipe blowpipe or pipe chanter, as these are included with a full Highland Bagpipe set.
