Whether your A is 440, 415, 392 etc. is, of course, a totally different
question. An nsp F chanter could be described as a G chanter tuned to A = 392

Klaus,
You have made the right decision!Apart from Dick Hensold, who has a
special love affair with the D chanter, (even though many of us do know how to
transpose, and can and do when necessary) my guess would be that 100% of us
use

Klaus,
If you want to play tunes in concert G and D, with a compass between D and
b, with the simplest possible fingerings (holes rather than keys) then a G
chanter is certainly what you need. If you use a D chanter you will have more
range for playing notes below this compass, but will lose
You are right, Paul. I want to play ususal NSP and other stuff (danish &
northern german) with others. Maybe the criterions for expierenced
players are others. I live on a musical NSP Island, no teacher, no other
player and I play all in all just for a year. So I will buy a G chanter

Hi Klaus,
I am responding to the transposition into different keys on the pipes. Dick
Hensold plays in G on his D chanter all the time. It is like playing in C(Bb)
on your standard pitch G(F) chanter. Tom Clough used to play this way and
Adrian Schofield used to do it as it was handy for me a
nstrument built for that pitch rather than transpose.

Klaus,
There is an alternative, and much cheaper -- learn to play your existing
chanter with alternative fingering -- recorder players have to learn
different fingerings for different chanters so it can be done.
