Chris Apps G4 Ridge Cut Band Pipe Chanter Reed
The new Apps G4 pipe chanter reed is designed specifically for band use. Compared to the Apps G3 pipe chanter reed, the G4 reed pitches higher, and it comes in medium and hard strengths only. Apps reeds are made in the US by Chris Apps.
Chris Apps Describes the New G4 Reed: "Manufactured with the same state of the art equipment as the G3 but uses a solid brass staple. This reed produces a very crisp bright tone thoughout the scale and a clear strong high A without a heavy crow. It works well in all the common brands of band chanter."
