Practice Chanter - Reasons For Use in Place of Bagpipes

Reasons For Use in Place of Bagpipes

The practice chanter is, as the name implies, often used to practice playing the bagpipes. It has several advantages over the full bagpipe that led to this role. First, the practice chanter is significantly quieter and thus better suited for the indoors. Second, the practice chanter requires less blowing than the bagpipes, making it physically easier to play. Finally, the practice chanter is easier to tune and maintain than the full bagpipe.

Famous quotes containing the words reasons for, reasons and/or place:

    Youth does not require reasons for living, it only needs pretexts.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “... But if you shrink from being scared,
    What would you say to war if it should come?
    That’s what for reasons I should like to know
    If you can comfort me by any answer.”
    “Oh, but war’s not for children it’s for men.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    We are seeing an increasing level of attacks on the “selfishness” of women. There are allegations that all kinds of social ills, from runaway children to the neglected elderly, are due to the fact that women have left their “rightful” place in the home. Such arguments are simplistic and wrongheaded but women are especially vulnerable to the accusation that if society has problems, it’s because women aren’t nurturing enough.
    Grace Baruch (20th century)
