Current lead times: Lead times for chanters is around 6-9 weeks all going well. When including the Xmas Break. All of our chanters are hand made to order so they do take a while to turn. If you haven’t heard from us please don’t worry, know that we are processing the orders as fast as we can.
Please note; times are relevant from date of order and will change depending on work load and material stock.
Q: What are the best reeds to use?
A: We use Frazer Warnock Reeds (long red/green tongues). We have found them to be the best and most consistent of the reeds we have tested. **We have heard Abbot reeds are also a good choice.
Q: What are your chanters made from?
A: Wood! That’s all we can say. If we told you any more we’d have to kill you!
Q: Where are you based?
A: Our workshop is in the centre of Glasgow.
Q: What’s your perfect cup of tea?
A: I like to use a standard tea bag – usually Scottish Pride – but any generic teabag will do.
1. Add the hot water and leave to infuse for 2 minutes (DO NOT mush the tea bag under any circumstance as this causes it to leave a bitter taste).
2. Now, here’s the kicker! You throw in an Earl Grey tea bag and let it mellow for 2 minute along with the generic tea bag.
3. When time has elapsed, remove both tea bags and discard. (Note: Be careful not to crush the bags as this leaves a bitter taste.)
4. Then add milk to taste or until the colour matches that of “Plantation Beige”.
Viola! The perfect cup of tea!
