RG Hardie, College of Piping, Barefoot Bagpiper Twist Trap Practice Chanter, National Center Scotland Tutor Book with 2 Quality Scottish Reeds Breathable Case

Q: please excuse my complete ignorance- this would be for my adult son that wants to learn- but don't you need the airbag or whatever that is called?

Not at all. It is best to start on the chanter, then when ready, purchase a good set of bag pipes which you attach your chanter to. It is recommended to wear ear protection when the whole set of bagpipes is being played indoors, protection is not needed for the chanter itself. This is a beautiful chanter set.

Q: What songs are in the book?

The first half of the book teaches how to play the chanter. The 2nd half has about 15-20 different songs, starting with easier songs to learn and progressing to harder ones. There are also online tutorials to help learn the notes and embellishments. Regards. Al Campbell, The Barefoot Bagpiper

Q: Is this a long or standard length chanter?

This is a standard length chanter. If you require a long length chanter I recommend the Frazer Warnock Long chanter

Q: Is this a good size for a child (age 9)? Thank you.

Thanks for your question. My son is a big 8 year old (almost 9) and he has a child's chanter. The full size chanter will probably be too big. The problem is the player's pads of their fingers need to be flat over the holes and with a chanter that is too big the child can't reach the last hole for their pinky finger. Personally I'd recommend a child's chanter, they may outgrow it in a year or two but at least they won't develop bad habits in that first year. I hope this helps. The Barefoot Bagpiper
