Dunbar "Long" Practice Chanter. No doubt in my mind. These things are indestructable and have nice countersunk holes that mimic the spacing of the holes on the pipe chanter. I'd strongly advise against any of the cheap wooden practice chanters that are available. No need to reopen a "Pakistani Pipes" thread, but I think your friend will be better served in the long run with the Dunbar.

I've included a link to a supplier I have used with good result to show you what I'm talking about. You may be able to find tem cheaper elsewhere, though.
