Mẫu kèn Uilleann bagpipes chanter

Uilleann pipe chanter, based on the O'Flynn Rowsome chanter measurements.

As of December 2025, I am using this as my chanter, with a David Daye reed.

The back D hole is oblong, just like in the O'Flynn Rowsome chanter. You will probably need to put some tape over part of it. Which part depends on what the weather is like where you are :)

You'll probably want to print in PLA, with supports. You'll probably want 100% infill, although I've gotten by with 15%. Do what you can to dial in stringing before you print this: it will sound better with a smooth inside. If you're feeling fancy, you can do filament changes for the little skirt decoration and the main body: the heights are set so that you can still print both halves at the same time.

The havles should fit together snugly. You can use vinyl (electrical) tape to shim them if you need to. Superglue the halves together.

This is part of a larger effort to make an entire 3D printable full set, complete with sewing plans for the bag, bellows, and various covers, and a step-by-step assembly booklet. I hope to have a working half set before 2027, and a working full set before 2030. Source code is in my repository. If you like reading, I've been writing blog entries as I work.
