Warming your chanter reed

It only takes a short time for Chris Apps to warm his chanter reed before playing his bagpipes. #bagpipes #bagpiper

Thanks for the tip Pete! suitably chastised 🤪.

I'm a beginner piper, where do you put the chanter in your mouth and do you bite down on it?

[@xbaaldyy]

No, never

[@AppsReeds]

Just put your mouth on the chanter tenon, where the hemp is, and blow through the reed without touching it.

[@piperbob2]

Don't bite, just blow - to get the reed a little damp.
