Fingered exactly like the Highland bagpipe chanter, but uses a saxophone reed and mouthpiece to create a completely new sound.
Highland pipers can expand their musical horizons in minutes.

Gordon Duncan, P/M Robert Mathieson, Martyn Bennett, Michael Grey and Rory Campbell (of Old Blind Dogs and Deaf Shepherd) are among the world class pipers who've pioneered the Highland Hornpipe!

If you like the idea of playing bagpipe music in Celtic jam sessions, you will want a Highland Hornpipe. It produces a strong vibrant tone that will not be buried by other instruments. And yet, when you want, it can sound as mellow and sweet as a soft, humming voice.
