If bad intonation makes your skin crawl, I would be willing to bet that almost any practice chanter will give you that feeling. I've played trombone for about 40 years and pipes for 3, and I still don't care for the sound of a practice chanter. You do get used to it, though. Good Luck!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
