It's a D chanter and therefore longer than the F - there is more room to fit keys in at the top. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Quoting "Gibbons, John" <j.gibb...@imperial.ac.uk>:

Maybe a confused description - could Colin clarify this?
But there are a lot of keys at the top end.

Subject: [NSP] D chanter on AU ebay

Curious about the keys on this chanter.
Chanter Keys (10 - A, B, C, d, e, f, g, G#, a, A#, b, c, Cnat, d, E, F, G, A)
If transposed to an F chanter that would be D E F# g a b c C# d D# e
f# Fnat g A B C D.  That is an unusual selection isn't it?

Thanks for posting, Julia, but I don't think I'll be bidding on it.
