Does anybody know a price on a Van Daal chanter in d? Does anybody have any info about the tuning of his chanters or any other chanters they think are good (or even bad for that matter)? I am looking for a new chanter which is very nicely in tune with itself. Do the Van daal chanters have any notes that are consistently flat or sharp?
thanks,
mitchell

Van Daal's site is here:

http://www.uilleann.net/

His chanters, with C-key, sell for 525,- euros, as of this moment, according to his website.

In fact you can hear several versions of his pipes being played at the Clips and Snips tune archive site, under Uilleann Pipes:
