Smaller holes aren't a downgrade anymore. The Infinity Chanter proves smaller, closer-spaced, smoothed holes can be just as comfortable to play as older designs while still delivering a bright, modern, projecting sound.
Match your chanter material to your priorities. Blackwood gives a mellower, sweeter tone and top-tier looks; Polypenco gives nearly the same balanced sound in a tougher, more affordable package that many pipe bands prefer.
The B Flat model solves the fixed-pitch problem. Standard bagpipes sit awkwardly between B flat and B on instruments like piano or guitar; the B Flat Infinity Chanter tunes your low A to exactly 466 Hz so you can play in tune with them.
