Hi Alec, I have found that reeds that are not quite good enough for an NSP chanter in F sometimes perform quite well in an SSP chanter in A. I think that this is because the SSP chanter is less demanding of the reed (only 9 notes). So don't throw all those old reeds away just yet.
Your experience may differ (translation: I expect all the SSP players to hate me for even suggesting this).
