Practice Chanter Workout Session — June 15, 2022

The Short Version

Every birl starts from the same spot. No matter what note you're coming from, get to low A with your pinky touching in a single step. Once you're there, the birl itself is identical every time.
Keep your hand relaxed, not tight. A tight grip makes your ring finger and pinky want to move together instead of independently. A light touch on the low G, and everywhere else, is what lets your pinky do its own thing.
Pair a Tone Protector with a canister system on the drones. Cane chanter reeds want warm, moist air. Synthetic drone reeds want it dry. Running both at once is what lets your pipes get, and stay, in tune fast.
