Thanks for your advice, gentlemen. I have been tinkering away on my practice chanter and am at a modest skill level. I primarily do rock music and have tracked my practice chanter in the studio for background texture on a couple of songs, mostly padding under guitars and the like. I did have to adjust the pitch in my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for it to fit into the mix. My chanter is a bit sharp.

I'd like to get a set of pipes that will record well. I am not really interested in trying my hand at competition pipin nor in live performances with them...just recording studio stuff. I need them to be moderate in volume but comparable to GHB fingering, since that's what I've been learning.

Where s the best place to start?

Thank you, THANK YOU for your advice, guys.
