I've placed my name on the waiting list for one of CJ's rosewood chanters PJ, Have you seen or heard his chanters?

I have a bit of a pain in my right hand at the moment. Its called a broken wrist. I was able to play the tin whistle about a week after I broke it but I am having trouble spreading my fingers far apart enough to cover all the holes on the chanter all the time. Anyway the cast comes off in a few days...

I grew up listening to him on Radio 1 each Sunday morning. I'm sure many traditional musicians today can trace their interest back to his weekly broadcast.

Take a look at David Dayes website. http://daye1.com/pennychanter.html I got one of his practice sets and am pleased with it. I got the 'easy set' where he built the chanter and I assembeled the rest (bellows, bag ect.) You can also assemble the whole chanter yourself if you are brave enough. His wa...

I am going to take a shot at learning the Uilleann pipes also. I just ordered a practice set from David Daye. He makes the penny chanter which apparently may be a good entry level instrument. Does anybody else on this forum agree with this?
