Campbell Tunable Bagpipe Chanter - Play Test & Review! Matt Willis Bagpiper 

My instructor has interest on this adjustable chanter. I will share him this video. Thank you.

Great breakdown! I've often casually wondered how much "range" the tuning screw provides, and now I know!

Best chanter review yet!!

When I worked for a well-known American pipe maker, we experimented making chanters with different materials. We made one with Corian which was incredibly loud and cavernous.

Own one, and LOVE it

I recently got a Campbell tunable chanter. Still learning to use it but I love it so far. Great video. Thank you

this the best chanell ever

Yes, "reed psychology" forces you when 'gone sharp again' strikes to either fiddle with reed in seat or futz with drones, or pray that the offset isn't noticeable (but it always is) This quick-tweek option is pure gold.

I keep enjoying your videos over and over. Could you make a video on your band? Specially on the "day to day" tuning, warming etc. etc

Matt. Can you do a video on how to set up and use the iStroboSoft tuner. And understanding the hertz readings?

Thank You for the review!

Hi Matt, you tend to use a cane reed, don't you like the plastic reeds, I've had great success with a Frazer Warnock reed, but don't come cheap, very much liked this video.

Hi, how are you?I love your videos about Piping!!!Greetings from Brazil!!!I´ve bought this Campbell Chanter, but I haven´s gotten tuning!!!It gives squeazy!!! What´s chanter reed do you recommend me Matt?I use Peter Henderson PH1A bagpipes. Thanks. Marcelo

Have they produced a wooden chanter yet? If so, which would you prefer? Thank you

And again you kill my curiosity ; thx To see you can tune the reed without any worries on tape has been thought on as well And I gotta ask; you ever play with a second thumb hole? lol

Neat chanter! I looked at your table and it looked like a chanter sacrifice took place. Blood, razor blade, implements of chanter torture. I hope all is ok! :) Do you have any recommendations for a thumb rest on the chanter for the right hand?

So? Over quarantine I've improved on my finger placement quite well.... ironically now that 70% focus is on my fingers steady presure on the bag is tougher than my green 50/50 focus lol So now I'm thinking... a bag with 2 bladers,... a bladder we blow full with the same blow stick flap valves or moose trap.... and a one way exit with of coarse a one way valve to the second bladder ( smaller than the first,maybe even 80/20?) finished with a regulator on the 2nd that let's out a controlled presure . Thus leaving us in a state that as long as theres air in the 1st bladder , and were squeezing hard enough, our drones and chanter see steady presure .... the 2 need to be stuck to the bottom of the bag,regulator up , to let air flow freely .... too much free time here lol

where can i find this chanter i’ve looked at the pipers hut and henderson’s and can’t find it lol

Hey Matt, I have a B flat tunable Campbell chanter. I only have G1 B flat reeds though. Any experience with reeds for the B flat version of this? Trying to find the best combo. Thanks in advance! 😎👍🏻

Nice. Great video. Is there anyway of knowing what the individual note frequencies should be for a Chanter tunes to 480?

Bought a ab chanter for me pipes (maclellan for 50$ ) I pulled the reed from my dunbar poly and put it in the ab... tuned with brawl( moved the bridals a hair to tighten the tounges)and sounded awesome.. too excited to be thinking numbers, but a few days later I noticed the low a (456 in the poly) was 478 now Musically speaking freely,, meh ,sounds good .. but numbers I'm now between the A#4/Bb4 and the B4? .. I've heard diferent drone reeds were needed for key of A vs B ? But also with the amount of play room we have on a drone reeds tunning screw and the sliders it puzzles me why I'd need diferent reeds? Am I making sense or have I fallen off the turnup waggon 🤯

Please play Scotland the brave on the brave

Wait, you say anti-clockwise, I thought in the USA it was counter-clockwise

Hi Matt! Do you have an update on your Campbell chanter? I'm thinking of getting two to match when I play with another piper.

Hi Matt we use the McCallum Campbell tunable chanter I'm having trouble getting the high A to 480 it seems to wantvuo be at 477,have you experienced this ? Because of this factor I find it hard to reed.

I think that it is a Mark 3 McCallum Chanter.

Hey Matt, what is your favourite chanter & reed combo for solos?

It's strange how other chanter brands don't have this, unless it's patented?

as you said low A you said it in F

I sell 7 of these chanters because my pipe corps split up. Brand new, in the original round box and never been used. I sell each chanter for 70€ or 350€ for the whole set.

a military grade chanter ;)
