R.G. Hardie Twist-Trap Practice Goose. Standard Size BagIdeal starter instrument to progress from the practice chanter to the Highland Bagpipes.Goose Practice Pipes differ from Highland Bagpipes in that they use a practice chanter to produce the sound without the drones. They require much less pressure to play, compared to Highland Bagpipes, making it easier to focus on the technique of maintaining a constant sound.The Twist-Trap prevents moisture build-up on the reed allowing for longer practice sessions and the practice chanter can be disconnected from the set to play as a standalone instrument. The practice chanter and adaptors can also be removed to fit a bagpipe blowpipe and pipe chanter, so you can practice playing at a pressure similar to the Highland Bagpipes.The standard chanter plays in B flat and the long chanter is in the key of A. As a beginner instrument the pitch is not critical but you might find this information useful if you wish to play with other instruments.Please note, the set does not include a bagpipe blowpipe or pipe chanter as these will be included with your Highland Bagpipe set. A practice goose can be used in combination with a practice chanter or a bagpipe chanter.  If you want to use with a bagpipe chanter then you would order the goose without a practice chanter and use the pipe chanter and blowpipe from your bagpipe.
