The Celtic harp also goes by the names folk harp, lever harp and Irish harp. The last is a bit of a misnomer; technically, an Irish harp would be a harp made in Ireland. Just as Celtic music often brings the bonny green isles to mind, so too does the Celtic harp. The Highland Bagpipe continues to grow in popularity throughout the world. A classical instrument in its own right, it has a unique sound allowing a diverse range of music to be played from classical  to folk. It is not recommended that you try to learn how to play the bagpipes on a set of bagpipes. Click here to see our Beginners Piping Chanter Kit.

 
 
If you want to play the bagpipe, you must start with a Practice Chanter and instructions.  A practice chanter is an instrument in its own right, but its primary purpose is to provide a bridge to playing the Highland bagpipe. Later on it provides a convenient way to practice new tunes, complex fingerings, and so on, especially at times when practicing on a full pipe is impractical. bagpipes, bagpipe, practice chanter, piping kit, scottish music, scotland, bck1, bck2, reeds, bagpipe tutor video, learn to play

Piping Chanter Kits & Options

Learn to Play the Highland Bagpipe with these authentic Scottish Practice Piping Chanter Kits. 

These are authentic teaching instruments imported from Scotland.

If you are just starting out, we strongly suggest you purchase a practice chanter kit first. Your success in playing the bagpipes later hinges on practicing with your piping chanter now.

Any attempt to learn to play on a set of bagpipes will only result in frustration and harm. The harm manifests itself as damage to the instrument, oneself and others who are within earshot. Harm to oneself is usually caused by an errant shoe coming in your direction.
