    I build the chanter today in a short afternoon and it works. I will have to wait for some components to try hifi mode, but even with the simple setup the sound was not bad. Instructions how to ad a pod to lower the volume might be nice to add. I hope I can expand it to make a cornemuse du Centre France version of it including a second thumb hole. If I get it working I will try to contribute my changes back to the project. Am I correct that it is now not possible to play sharp or flat notes?

    Great project!!! Build already. Excellent trainer!!! I converted it for Bulgarian Bagpipe - Kaba Gaida - in E scale. More details and support will be good to have...

    I am no programmer so I don't know how to proceed. I am using the nano with the mini usb port since I figured this would be the easiest way to program. I downloaded the most recent sketches and opened them into the arduino environment program and when I verify the code, I get a lot of errors. Is there something I am doing wrong?
