Darn, you know I am starting to think about getting a practice chanter, (I don't know anything about them though) and I was forced as a smaller child to learn the recorder in school.

questions as follows:
I know there is no bag, do you just blow on a chanter or is there a reed?
(take in mind that I am currently a brass and strings player in my highschool.)

I am in highschool, where might I be able to get a practice Chanter that I can afford? (doesn't have to be wood, I am not a huge stickler on sound quality in a practice instrument.)

What Cleff of music does the bagpipe use? I am fluent in Bass Cleff, can get by in Treble Cleff and absolutely hate Tenor Cleff, (but can manage)

Thanks
