RJM Solo Blackwood Chanter, by Roddy MacLeod

Roddy MacLeod, former long-time Director of the National Piping Centre in Glasgow, has been renown for his sound for nearly 40 years. This chanter, available in African blackwood only, is a replica of the classic Naill chanter on which Roddy has won all of the world’s significant solo prizes. It is made by David Naill and Company in Somerset, England. It pitches between 477 and 483 depending on the reed, and Roddy recommends Shepherd, MacPhee or Troy reeds in it.
