Connect the Chanter*, with its reed in place, to the Chanter Stock. Slide the curved brass tube of the Chanter Stock into the small hole in the

wooden Chanter Connector on the Bag’s neck. The suede valve end of the Connector Tube slides into the appropriate sized brass fitting on the Bag.

Now buckle the Bellows around your waist with the longer strap and around your right arm with the shorter strap. Place the Bag and Chanter under your Left arm. Slide the open end of the Connector Tube into the Brass fitting on the Bellows, located near the longer strap.

If any of the connections seem loose, simply wrap the ends with more hemp. Wrap evenly and wrap only enough to make a snug fit.

NOTE: When disassembling your pipes be especially careful to hold the parts near the joints. Never twist from the mid-shaft of the Chanters, Connectors, or Drones while disassembling, as they may crack.

Our reeds are designed to play the First Octave well. The sound of the Second Octave may or may not be enhanced by custom made reeds. Minor differences in reeds can have a dramatic effect on how your pipes sound. When you need a new reed, we suggest purchasing a few reeds at a time and then select the one that sounds the best.
