practice goose
A practice goose is a small bag used when learning to play the Great Highland Bagpipe. Generally, bagpipe students begin learning on a practice chanter, which is aspirated directly by the player blowing into it. Eventually, as one becomes more proficient, one may switch to a practice goose, which is a small air bladder (significantly smaller than that of a full set of pipes) with only a blowpipe and a single outlet to the chanter.
