Mark Saul
Bagpipe Tuner
"I have read many reviews and a friend of mine has
one of these. It is a have-to-have for every piper. The
only down side is it's pricy and not in many people's
budget. But you do get what you pay for, saves a lot of
time on getting your tone 'exact'. Can't wait to have one
of my own!"
Bannatyne Hide Synthetic Pipe Bag
"This is an excellent bag! Feels like a good hide bag
but has the ease of a zipper so you can get inside and
use whatever moisture control device you wish. The
sizes are great too, very comfortable."

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 new design of the Deger II has better sensors
and
better sound quality. There are no restrictions to
using
MIDI and phones at the same time. You can also play
Vibrato.
The chanter contains everything you need including
the
batteries (2 AAA). Earphones are included as well.
