Chanter with half closed fingering for Hümmelchen school model

Description

Playing whistle with half closed gruff for Hümmelchen school model

Our Hümmelchen school models can be equipped with different whistles. So you can play in other pitches or with other fingerings.

The included soprano chanter of the school models can easily be exchanged for other chanters if the instrument is equipped with the wind capsule system (see below).

The Chanter with semi-closed fingering is an alternative for those who already play bagpipes with the so-called ‘French’ fingering and do not want to get used to the baroque fingering. The second thumbhole is present, but the whistle cannot be blown over.

The instrument is turned from Elsbeer wood and equipped with a wind capsule. It is tuned in C, has a range from b to c”.

This chanter is well suited to use with the textbook ‘Playing the bagpipes‘ to learn how to play a French cornemuse or a shepherd’s pipe – even if the full range is not available. With the reduced volume it is easily possible to practice even in the evening hours without disturbing others! 

Order and delivery: Currently, we forward your order to our partner company with whom we have been manufacturing and distributing these instruments for over 25 years. You will be contacted directly by our partner after your order regarding delivery time and payment method. If you have any questions, we will be happy to advise you at any time.

For direct changing of the chanter the school model must be equipped with the wind capsule changing system.
