This is a long Practice Chanter to learn how to play the great highland bagpipes. After the great succes of my small Practice Chanter I decided to improve this nice instrument by making a long version from scratch.
Features:
- Fully printable
- Printable functioning Chanter Reed
- The boreholes are counterbored to give a feeling of a real Chanter
- It has the exact same size like a real Chanter
- No postprocessing, just assemble it and play!
The #MakeItLoud challenge gave me the motivation to make this Practice Chanter fully printable, including the Chanter Reed. The challenge was to "make it loud" so I tested and reprinted the reed to make it as loud as possible and but at the same time keep the right pitch.
The loudness I reached was 94 dB for the Chanter Reed and 90 dB for the Practice Chanter.
I am very happy with the result. This instrument is not only loud,but it sounds great and looks nice (I think :D )
