<p>[QUOTE="The Lady B, post: 189403, member: 3462"]I really don't think this is a bagpipe chanter - They always have the thread wrapped tenon at the top to hold it in the bag. Even if the wrapping was missing, the shape of the top in not the proper shape or design to hold a thread wrap that is necessary to hold a chanter in the bagpipe bag. I am certain it is an early oboe. I've also never seen a bagpipe chanter that did not have the large flare that is absent on this instrument. And just a note - oboes don't have a mouthpiece, just a reed that is inserted into the opening on the top.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
