Tuning The Bagpipe Chanter - G, B, D, G, High G

The rich tonal quality of the Bagpipe is largely dependent on tuning. Each note of the chanter must be perfectly pitched to harmonize with the drones. So, what's the secret?
In this episodes (specifically on tuning G, B, D, G, High G notes on the bagpipe chanter,) Gold Medallist, Jim McGillivray explains how to fine tune a chanter's sound using tape to address sharps and flats, and many more pro tips. There is also a tuned chanter demonstration.
Part of a larger "Tuning Tutor" Master Series, this is intended to build upon previous episodes and demystify the topic of Bagpipe tuning and maintenance. Check out the episodes that follow for more tips, tricks, and everything you need to know to fine tune bagpipes like a pro.
