The Endurance Practice Chanter is the first to solve the problem of moisture control with an innovative endurance cartridge system. Unlike other chanters that require frequent breaks to dry out the reed, this design allows you to play for extended periods without interruptions, making it ideal for serious practice and performance preparation.

The Endurance Practice Chanter comes equipped with three Endurance Cartridges that absorb moisture as you play. This prevents moisture buildup in the chanter, keeping the reed dry for a clear, consistent sound. The cartridges are easy to recharge or replace and keep your chanter performing at its best, even during long practice sessions.

Yes! The Endurance Practice Chanter is designed for pipers of all skill levels. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, the moisture control system makes it easier to focus on learning, practicing, and improving without the interruptions caused by moisture buildup.

We offer three sizes: Regular, Extended, and Junior.

• Regular size (Standard) is the standard option for most players.
• Extended (Long) size offers a longer size and is slightly lower pitched.  Sometimes called “Pipe Chanter Size” the overall length more closely matches the length of the pipe chanter.
• Junior (Child) size is perfect for younger pipers or those with smaller hands.

The Endurance Catridges are designed to last for several practice sessions before needing to be replaced or reactivated. You can reuse the Endurance Cartridges again and again by allowing them to air dry between sessions or reactivating them in the oven. With regular care, the cartridges provide long-lasting moisture control.

You can reactive your Endurance Cartridges by placing them in a tray or dish in your oven at 250° F (120° C) for one hour.
