Re: Your favorite pitch?
I love C. I want a C chanter so much. To my ear it's the perfect tone. D's a little bright, B seems a little goose-like, but C? C's like a sexy contralto with a velvet voice.
Someone give me money!!!!!

I really have a hard time choosing between B and C. I selected C today.

Re: Your favorite pitch?
Well, I didn't think it would happen so quickly(since I'm far from well to do), but in a matter of a week or so, due to some creative finagling of resources,
I will have my hands on a narrow bore C 1/2 set, AND a concert chanter to hook
up to said 1/2 set bag.
So, I'll have two keys so to speak.
hmm, D chanter w/C drones...that'd get some stares wouldn't it?

Re: Your favorite pitch?
For all you that picked a C Chanter...I got one from David Daye.
For $220 ($35 extra for all black finish with imataion irovy) you get a great sounding C chanter.
Listen to the sound sample. It speaks for itself!

click on Catalogue, then chanters and you will see the link for the sound sample.

I rotate between 3 chanters actually, the Childress B, the McNicholl C and the Bailey C# and that is because I prefer the tone of those particular chanters. Until recently I would have said B like the rest of the hive
but laying my hands on decent instruments in C and C# means I am spoiled for choice - all I could say for certain now is it is not D.David
