Hi Everyone,

I’m not sure if this is the right place to do this; my apologies if this is in the wrong place. I’m looking for a concert D chanter, one that’s fairly affordable, but that sounds passably decent. I have a B set that I love, but I’d like to pick up a D chanter so I can jam with my old man who’s been picking up the fiddle. Just wondering if anyone out there has an extra one they’d be willing to part with, please msg me, and we can talk details :slight_smile:

Thanks, and again I apologize is this is uncouth.

Something else you could do.

Just tune down the fiddle one and a half steps. I used to do this to play with a B chanter. It makes the fiddle VERY mellow, which matches the B chanter nicely. It does make the fiddle feel a bit different because it takes a lot of tension out of the strings.

My fella has a student-size viola he’s tuned down and we play that with my Bb flute. It’s lovely.
