Neil,
I feel a bit guilty about this. My regular piping class participants
snapped up the first dozen or so. In fact one of them got one of them
working at Billy Pigg type tone and pitch but as we play at A = 446 Hz
it wasn't a runner as far as lessons were concerned. I have one or
Hello Anthony,
I hesitate to disagree here since your suggestion is made in a spirit of
generosity.
However, I'm not sure it's best to suggest using inferior reeds as an aid to
learning. Reeds that function very well carry a great deal of information. Poor
reeds do not.

Anthony's comments about adjacent slips from the same piece of cane
What a great idea indeed seems to be building momentum. I really
enjoyed watching Andy May's demo at Halsway of making/scraping a reed.
I suspect it's not quite as easy as he made it look :-) but as you
say, it's a skill we all need.
And fiddle tuning - while I was in a music shop
These days I snap lifeless reeds to stop me wasting time on them.
Perhaps we should start a free bank of working reeds that
aren't really there for enthusiastic, would-be makers to mess
around
with?

What a brilliant idea!

Yes, interesting stuff and it does demonstrate what what enthusiasm and

Well. if you are really desperate, Hobgoblin do sell them although you will
have to adjust them for your own sets.
£33 for chanter and £6.95 for each drone.
I have never tried them so can't vouch for the quality.
