Rowsome style D chanter 2016 wide and medium bores

Sound
Fatter, mellower and rounder tone than my 2009 model. This design highlights the singular tone of each individual note and adds a lot of extra colour when using varied tight and open playing techniques.

Playing
This chanter is a little fatter than my other model. It has very large, wider spaced and gently carved out finger holes. Excellent intonation with a reed with a conical staple.

Wood
Ebony or African blackwood

Mounts
