Alastair Dunn and Finlay MacDonald discuss the new Twist-Trap Practice Pipes


Introducing Twist Trap Practice Pipes, a set of mouth-blown smallpipes incorporating a long practice chanter and two drones. They produce a softer more mellow tone in comparison to the Highland Bagpipes and pitch in the key of A (440Hz), a general tuning standard for many musical instruments. They are fun to play on their own or in a group setting along with other instruments.

Features of the Twist-Trap Practice Pipes include:

  • Key of A (440 Hz )
  • Suitable for all piping abilities (beginners to advance)
  • Built-in moisture control
  • Long chanter (pipe chanter length)
  • Bass drone and tenor drone
  • Synthetic bag with corduroy cover
  • Top and Bottom make up a Practice Chanter
  • Ready to play (incl. reeds) with carry case

A particularly innovative design aspect to the Twist-Trap Practice Pipes chanter top is the blow piece for moisture control. Moisture control is important for kids as they produce a lot more saliva than an adult when playing.

I have been playing a set and they are great fun, much better than practicing on a practice chanter. Alastair Dunn.
They will help beginners with the transition from chanter to pipes and understanding the importance of maintaining constant pressure when blowing. Finlay MacDonald
