Halloween Humour

   "Halloween was confusing.
All my life my parents said: "Never take candy from strangers."
And then they dressed me up and said: "Go beg for it."
I didn't know what to do.
I'd knock on people's doors and go: "Trick or treat... no thank you."
~ Rita Rudner

Deger II Electronic Chanter

The Deger II Electronic Chanter is a great way to practice your tunes quietly.

It is the same size and has the same finger spacing as a long practice chanter. You can connect headphones, or speakers directly into the Deger so that you can play for yourself or for others. It is possible to connect the phones output to an amplifier or stereo as well. It has the authentic bagpipe sound including drones generated by wavetable sound synthesis. The crystal oscillator and microprocessor control provide a perfectly tuned chanter scale and drones. You can adjust the pitch so that you can play along with other instruments. The drones volume is variable and can be switched off. You can also switch between the sounds of Highland Pipes and Small Pipes. An extended chromatical scale is available so you can play tunes which you can not play on a real pipe chanter. There is a metronome integrated within the chanter.

The MIDI output allows you to use it with other MIDI equipment.

One battery will give you up to 100 playing hours. After a minute of no activity, it will shut itself off.

The chanter contains everything you need including the batteries (2 AAA). Earphones are included as well.

Scottish Trivia
 
The Festival of Samhain begins on Oct 31st (All Hallow's Eve) and lasts for 3 days.  It is often referred to as the Celtic New Year and is the start of the dark winter half of the year, as opposed to Beltane (May 1st) which marks the light summer half of the year.
Product Reviews


"Kinnaird Bore Oil is the best I've used in 47 years of piping. I live in an arid area with low humidity and hot summer days. I maintain 3 sets of blackwood pipes and practice chanters, so I go through a lot of oil with two treatments each per year. The Kinnaird product smells good and is readily absorbed into the wood. Other oils get rancid and smell like petroleum products, but this one doesn't. I highly recommend it."
