Oh the joys of a new instrument!
Here’s little sound sample. (Drones made by Pat Sky)
Tom has officially started to sell chanters, and I’m the first to get one. Get one while they’re hot! 
very nice!!
Tom is a genius instrument maker, amongst the very best out there…both flutes and concert chanters!
I hope he will someday soon come out with great 
FLAT chanter in B in the same way he succeeded with his amazing Bb flute (fat warm and rich sound with incredible short hand stretch ! 
Tom is a genius indeed. I am not an expert about chanters really, but I think this one is incredibly easy to play and I just love its sound. And his flutes… I’m just back from his workshop and I’ve tried out all his models, including his new Rudall-like design, they are just outstanding. I’ll post more later on the appropriate forum.
Don’t know about flat chanters. I don’t think Tom has plans in that direction.
Nice playing there. You also play highland pipes, yes?
T
Highland Pipes? No, never tried them. I’m mainly a flute player, and I play a bit of uilleann pipes and other stuff.
Tom just sent me pics of a chanter he just finished, with 4 keys and boxwood rings:
Not mine…unfortunately, but I shall not complain…
I love how that boxwood(I think it is boxwood) just complements the blackwood. It is very beautiful.
