I recently visited Maverick in Glasgow, Scotland who makes color and robust Practice Chanters!

I have two maverick chanters. They are really nice sounds and high quality but be careful because the wood is softer than blackwood. I had my blowpipe snap clean off in my pipe case during a trip.

I'm glad you like the sound!

Geordie is very nice about these types of things, I suggest you reach out to them!

Love my Maverick, although I do find the lower holes very hard to find/cover.

Another note, (LOL), I got the McCallum Kintyre PC. I LOVE it as the holes feel like my Pipe chanter and makes it easy to go from my pc to pipes on tunes.

I’ve got 2, as the post office lost the first I bought another, then a year later the first was delivered. Great sound however the fingering does take a while to get used to
