The Shepherd Orchestral Pipe Chanter - The Orchestral Poly Pipe chanter was designed so that pipers could play with other instruments. The chanter is pitched at around 440 hz. It has the same quality sound that Shepherd Pipe chanters are known for, but with a lower pitch. To get the optimum sound and pitch out of this chanter, you are best to use a Shepherd pipe chanter reed. This is perfect for pipe bands that want to play with other instruments, and with brass bands.
