To make sure your chanter is in the best condition possible, it's important to clean it after use. To do this, you have to take apart the chanter and separate it into its three parts. Then, simply blow into the reed, blow out the top, and blow out the bottom. Some people choose to clean them further by using cotton brushes on the parts to dry them and bore oil on the top to retain moisture. Just remember to let everything dry before reassembling.
