Twist Trap Practice Pipes are a set of mouth blown small pipes incorporating a long practice chanter and two drones. They produce a softer more mellow tone in comparison to the Highland Bagpipes and pitch in the key of A (440Hz), a general tuning standard for many musical instruments. They are fun to play on their own or in a group setting along with other instruments.
Twist-Trap Practice Pipes allow beginners to start playing on a mouth blown instrument that closely resembles the Highland Bagpipes.
These Pipes are not just for beginners however, Pipers of all abilities can appreciate the sound, making practice time that much more enjoyable.

Ideal for beginner like me. You have the long chanter to start and when ready you move onto blowing techniques ready for Highland pipes. Great service from shop too, thanks Gary! Highly recommend! Don’t wait all your life to learn the pipes, do it now, and these are a great start!

Fantastic practice pipes….but they don’t merely seem like practice pipes. They are a legitimate instrument in their own right. I swapped in Gibson reeds and they are super stable blowing and have very nice volume for an acoustic ensemble. Shipped to US incredibly fast.
