TUNING IN A BAND

ADJUSTING WHILE PLAYING

HOW IT WORKS

ON THE DAY

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“I have played the Campbell Tunable Chanter for 2 years and have found it to be well constructed and intuitive to use. The ability to quickly and easily sink or lift a reed without having to stop blowing or remove the chanter from the bagpipes greatly reduces the time needed to adjust to the current environment.

This chanter fills a void in the chanter marketplace that pipers have been needing for a long time.”

City of Regina Pipe Band (Grade 2)

“My Campbell Tunable Chanter was easy to set-up and maintain. When playing solo gigs with limited warm up spaces, I love that with a small turn my pipes are back to being in tune and sounding like I’ve been warming up the whole time.”

Chris Flook
Winnipeg Police Pipe Band

“I have been aware of the Kyle Campbell chanter project for a number of years, and I was originally skeptical of the practicality and benefit of the chanters. In late 2013, the Conservatory Pipe Band (Grade 4) got a set of Campbell Tunable Chanters, and we have been delighted with them. The tuning mechanism has proven very useful for fine tuning at performances and contests, and the excellent McCallum-produced chanter sits comfortably at 480-482 in most circumstances. The chanter sounds well, has a comfortable finger spacing and hole size, and has worked well with a number of reed makes. The Conservatory Pipe Band has done well in competition playing these chanters, and members of the band have used them for solo competitions with good results and positive comments for tone and tuning from well-respected adjudicators. The band has been well pleased with the chanters, and would have no hesitation recommending them to others.”
