Description

New Practice Pipe from Polypenco by RG Hardie, Scotland The newly introduced Twist Trap Practice Pipe is a mouth-blown practice smallpipe with a long practice chanter and two drones. The instrument sounds considerably softer and quieter than a Great Highland Bagpipe and is tuned to A (440 Hz.). They are fun to play alone, with several together, or with other instruments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWXsXYrjqHU The Great Highland Bagpipe is an impressive, powerful sounding instrument which is always associated with Scotland. It is played worldwide by solo pipers, military bands and civilian pipe bands. As a physically demanding instrument, it requires a lot of practice to create and hold the high air pressure to get a good sound and stable intonation. This keeps some beginners from taking the step from Practice Chanter to Great Highland Bagpipe. The Twist Trap Practice Pipe is the perfect transition for beginners: an easy-to-play, mouth-blown bagpipe with a quiet sound and compatible intonation, yet similar in sound to the larger bagpipes. However, these practice pipes are not just for beginners: pipers with all levels of experience will appreciate the sound and ease of use and will have a lot of fun practicing.  The practice pipe is made by Hardie in Glasgow, who now also provide several videos including sheet music: to the product video We deliver the instrument: – ready to play with tested reeds! – with twist trap leadpipe – long chanter with tone hole spacing as on the GHB * – with microfiber pipe bag and cord cover – with stopper for the large drone – with storage bag and reed tube – with fingering chart and instruction sheet * The finger holes on this instrument are designed to give the musician the feel and touch of the original bagpipe chanter.
