I love this tune! But it is not necessarily easy to learn! But I have time and will enjoy the way there!! Thank you for the free to provide! I love the music of Lincoln and will also buy the Chantre in the near future!! Best regards and see you soon!!
Always most appreciate the gifts from Lincoln to help us quit being bored USA pipers
I'm just starting to learn and wanted a nice chanter to motivate me to practice and this is it!! Looks beautiful and feels and sounds great! Every time I pick it up I'm impressed. Couldn't be more thrilled with it!
This is brain food for bagpipers - thanks Lincoln
We love that description! Lincoln really puts a lot of thought and creativity into every tune and arrangement, so hearing it is amazing. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, Liane, and may the inspiration keep flowing! ✨

We’re so glad you think so, Jürgen! If you ever feel like sharing, we’d absolutely love to see a photo of it in your hands or in your setup. It’s always a joy for us and the community to see these instruments out in the world being played and enjoyed. Happy piping!
Your journey awaits .... well dont mind if I do 😃 been spoilt this Christmas with the Modern Piping - Lincoln Hilton practice chanter. Im going have so much fun with this 😍
We love this energy, Sammie! Enjoy every moment, every practice, and every tune along the way. This is just the beginning of many musical adventures!
So excited to receive my Lincoln Sonic Hilton practice chanter today.
It's a Nice experience playing this high quality chanter. Thanks to Modern Piping - Lincoln Hilton for the fast delivery and for creating this master piece.
Thank you for being part of the Modern Piping community. Keep enjoying every phrase, every practice, and every moment with your new chanter. The music is just getting started! ✨
It looks very good, I won't be using it though.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts again, David! Even if you aren't using it at the moment, you might need it in the future. 😊
A very interesting read.
We’re so glad you found it interesting! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, David. 😊
Anything LH shares with all us is always amazing and very much appreciated.
That truly means so much, Milan. We’re so grateful to have you as part of this community. It’s the shared curiosity and enthusiasm that keeps modern piping moving forward. Thanks for being along for the journey! ✨
I've got several practice chanters, and even more chanter reeds. I am trying to find a chanter that will produce a sound that will not be out of place with other chanters. I have changed the Frazer Warnock reed that came with this chanter for a reed that is similar to the Greg Abbott blue reed. I'm enjoying the sound its producing now.
We absolutely love how thoughtful you’re being about your sound. That’s the mark of a true piper, David! We’re so glad you’re enjoying what it’s producing now. Keep trusting your ear. You’re clearly on the right path. Happy piping!
I like the cutting edge with the double angle can scrape in both directions
It’s always great to hear from someone who appreciates the thoughtful details. Wishing you, Lou, lots of perfectly balanced reeds and beautifully shaped tone ahead. ✨
Killer tune. Now I just need my fingers to comply.
We’re cheering you on. Every practice brings you closer to mastering it. Happy piping
I am liking the new chanter.
Not quite figured out a use for the accompanying Tone Temple yet though…will it take the chill off the cold metal chanter, I wonder?….
We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you love your Hilton Chanter! Regarding the Tone Temple™, it is specifically designed for bagpipe chanters, not practice chanters. Its purpose is to protect and stabilise the moisture environment when your pipe chanter is not in use. The Tone Temple™ is a convenient companion that helps ensure your instrument stays in top condition and is ready for every practice or performance. We hope this information helps! Thank you for being part of the Modern Piping community. 😊
Super bouquin (surtout si on aime les morceaux de Brighde Chaimbeul) + livraison rapide même vers la france et aussi, livraison assurée même après une erreur de routage vers l'Australie. Contact avec la boutique hyper chaleureux. et hyper pro Merci ! :-)
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad it made its way safely to you even with slight delays. We also appreciate your shout-out to our team. Enjoy every note and have a wonderful time exploring all the tunes!
A very excellent taste given to Mason's Apron! It's nice to see other fine world class musicians take great tunes, and add other "ingredients" to the composition! A true fine job Lincoln!

Wow, thank you! We’re so glad it resonated with you, and we hope it brings many inspiring moments in your own playing. ✨
A lot of work to learn it and be able to play it on the pipe...
A real challenge !
The real magic happens on the other side of that challenge. We’re cheering you on all the way. Happy piping!
Normally I have my drone tops tune at the hemp line.
This hemp is so gorgeous, it has to be shown.
Thanks for sharing that with us. Enjoy showing it off and happy piping!
great setting……. now if only I can put it to memory!
So glad you’re enjoying the setting of Mason’s Apron! And hey, getting it to memory is half the adventure. Take it phrase by phrase, let it sink in, and before you know it you’ll be playing it without even thinking. We’re cheering you on every step of the way. Happy piping!
The materials and craftmanship are stellar. But that color though! I love it!!! I'm going to have fun showing this off when I get good enough to play at the jam sessions.
We absolutely love this energy! So glad the craftsmanship impressed you, but yes… that color though! And don’t worry about the “when I get good enough” part. Every great player starts exactly where you are. Keep playing, keep enjoying it, and when you do bring it to those sessions, you’re going to have both the sound and the style to match.
I was lost for words when I opened this book.
As a piper taught by the legendary Pipe-Major Donald MacLeod, I have seen a number of piping books over the past 70 years. While all have helped me in different ways, none has inspired me to begin writing my own compositions, as has Ceol Beag (vol.1) by Lincoln Hilton.
This book has everything: from a list of ‘unorthodox movements’, to a collection of innovative tunes that provoke, stimulate and boggle the mind.
Who would have thought of writing a tune by eliminating the first note of an original melody and commencing the ‘new’ version by making the second note the base of the new tune? Startling, to say the least.
Since receiving a copy of this book from my wife Jane, for my 81st birthday recently, I have written a number of my own compositions. These include a tune in mazurka time for my younger grand-son, who has Polish heritage.
I have also begun modifying some of the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and Vivaldi for the highland bagpipe. This idea works even better on my Blair digital bagpipes, where I have access to different keys and modes.
And I was impressed by Lincoln’s embrace of relatively unused bagpipe notes such as C natural and F natural, which many pipers are either not aware of or have overlooked in their playing.
To me, this book is the Bohemian Rhapsody of bagpipe music books and one which I will treasure for the rest of my days. Thank you Jane and thank you Lincoln.
Wow. We are truly moved reading this. To hear that Ceol Beag – Volume 1 has sparked new compositions after 70 years of piping, and from someone taught by Pipe Major Donald MacLeod, is an incredible honour. The fact that it inspired you to write is simply extraordinary. This is exactly why the book was created. To provoke, to stretch, to open doors that perhaps felt closed.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, and please thank Jane for the beautiful gift. What a way to celebrate an 81st birthday. We are honoured to be part of your musical story. Keep composing, keep exploring, and keep inspiring us right back. 😊
Great weight fun colors, just took a while to arrive.
Thank you as well for your patience with the delivery. We truly appreciate you sticking with us, and we hope it was well worth the wait. Happy piping! 😊
