		Another practice instrument, called a goose, has a bag, with the practice chanter, but lacks drones, and allows a student to practice "winding" the pipe with the proper mix of breath and bag pressure.

	Description of Scottish Smallpipes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		For the solo piper they are the complete indoor bagpipe of low volume with an extremely pleasing tone which ranges from the mellow warmth of the 'A' pitch through to the characteristically 'nasal' sound of the 'Bb' instrument and the more chirpy 'D' pitch.
		Scottish Smallpipes are a bagpipe in their own right and can be used as the perfect practice set for players of the Great Highland Bagpipe, since the fingering does conform to that of the latter.
		Combine this with the comparatively low playing pressure and you have what could be considered to be the ideal instrument for the novice piper, those unable to manage the higher playing pressure of the Great Highland Bagpipe as well as a solo set with a difference for the more accomplished players.

		It is pitched in the D two octaves lower than a D penny whistle, one octave lower than a D Leicestershire or Scottish Smallpipe.
		It is theoretically a 'smallpipe', since it has a cylindrical bore.
		By combining a wide bore, a large reed and smaller fingerholes, I have been able to design a chanter which has both a low pitch and very comfortable finger spacings.

		NOTE: The following article pertains primarily to making reeds for non-Highland pipes (Scottish small-pipes, Northumbrian pipes etc) with the exception that this sort of reed is ideally suited to the type of practice chanter used in learning Highland piping.
