Abstract
A chanter of a wind instrument is disclosed. The chanter comprises a bulb 106 and a chimney section 102. The bulb 106 or at least a portion thereof is located adjacent and around an external surface or wall 103b of the chimney section 102 of the chanter. At least a portion of the bulb 106 is spaced apart from the chimney section 102 thereby forming or defining a gap around at least a portion of the external surface or wall 103b of the chimney section 102 and at least a portion of an internal surface 104a of the bulb 106 or the upper section 104. Such arrangement allows for free vibrations of the chimney section 102 that is proximal to the chimney reed of the chanter thereby allowing the vibrancy of the sound to be increased.
