Pitching Your Bagpipe Chanter
Use the following routine when pitching your chanter:
1. Give your pipe chanter reed a little moist squeeze and then put into chanter stock.
2. Blow your pipes up and shut off your drones by touching the top of the drone hole or place rubber stoppers in the end of drones.
3. Play a very simple tune for about 5 minutes.
4. Now that your pipes are warmed up Play a Low A to a High A playing each note for at lest 5 seconds. Evaluate if the High A sounds sharp, flat or correct compared to the Low A.
5.
a) If the High A sounds a little sharp and shrill then apply a little tape to the hole.
b)If the High A sounds a little flat and dull take some tape off the hole or if there isn't any tape push the reed in.
c)If the High A sounds pretty close then leave it alone.
* Blow steady! you may be tempted to blow a little lighter if your pipes are sharp or a little harder if you pipes are flat. Don't give in Blow steady.
