While I didn't get this product from Amazon, I did buy the exact same package at a music store that was actually a two hour drive away (I was determined to learn bagpipes).So, I get the chanter and book and all of that for $45, drive back home again, and when I play the scale, the notes that are supposed to be the highest in the scale were about 2 or 3 octaves lower than there were supposed to be. After just minutes of playing, the other notes began to play the same way.I am VERY dissatisfied with this chanter and regret not spending extra money for the Dunbar practice chanter.
