Overview: Intro

Background

Julie has been bagpiping for many years for different occasions, but she is particularly touched by the services for the recently deceased, so she can play to bring a sacred honor to their life when so many around them feel so helpless. This project is to help Julie be able to play once again, this time with only her left hand.

​

With Julie, we designed a two-handed practice chanter to be played with the left hand. The thumb's note is shifted to the pinky which normally doesn't play a note, while the the thumb can now play the five notes from the right hand.
