I got a utility kilt which lends itself to everyday wear but it still is a new adventure.
I also got a chanter and lesson book or two. Of all the instruments that I have ever played, i find the chanter to be the most challenging. Using grace notes to mark time, delineate notes, and give emphasis is entirely foreign to me. It is a great challenge and I love it!
