Product information "McCallum MK2 Blackwood Pipe Chanter - Wthout "
The MK2 is McCallum´s second generation chanter and a very successful bagpipe chanter at that. The MK2 is pitched at approx. 476 Hz - 478 Hz and has slightly larger (oval shaped) holes than the other McCallum chanters, allowing for greater sound projection. This chanter is not only popular with pipe bands, it is also preferred by solo pipers.
Difference between the various McCallum blackwood chanters:
- MK2 = slightly larger oval holes, pitched at approx. 476 Hz - 478 Hz
The MK2 is McCallum´s second generation chanter and a very successful bagpipe chanter at that. Still the most popular pipe band chanter on the market today. The holes are slightly larger (oval shaped) than the MK1 and MK3 allowing for greater sound projection. This chanter is not only popular with pipe bands, it is also preferred by solo pipers. - MK3 = round holes, pitched at approx. 482 Hz - 484 HzIn line with the rise in overall pitch in piping today (in particular with pipe bands), the new generation McCallum MK3 chanter offers a slightly higher pitch than the other models. This modern chanter has round holes and sits very nicely in the hand.
- SOLO McC2 = round holes, pitched at approx. 472 Hz - 474 HzThe McCallum solo chanter is quieter and slightly lower pitched than the other chanters. Stability of the piobaireachd high G was a major development, a great plus for solo competitors. The McC2 solo chanter also has standard round holes allowing for a very comfortable grip.
- Bflat = round holes, pitched at approx. 466 Hz (440 Hz concert pitch)
The McCallum Bflat chanter is ideal for playing with other instruments (brass band, folk group, orchestra etc.) in the key of Bb. Like most of McCallum´s chanters, the Bflat chanter also has standard round holes allowing for a comfortable grip.
