Peter Henderson Polypenco Band Pipe Chanter
The Peter Henderson plastic band chanter was designed by Alastair Dunn of Field Marshal Montgomery, winners of multiple World Pipe Band Championships. The makers of the chanter indicate that it has been made "to generate a bright robust sound with maximum projection." In addition, "it produces a balance sound between all notes and is comfortable to play."
Naill Polypenco Pipe Chanter
This version of the Naill Poly Pipe Chanter is considered best for soloists, and it's the one that comes standard on most Naill bagpipes.  The Naill Poly chanter has excellent harmonics and is very responsive. Naill pipe chanters are made in England by David Naill & Co.
Shepherd Polypenco "Orchestral" Pipe Chanter
The Shepherd Orchestral Pipe Chanter is pitched at 466 Hz, concert pitch Bb. This is the older traditional pitch of the bagpipe. The lower pitched chanter allows the bagpipe to be played with other instruments in the key of Bb. The orchestral chanter has been on the market since 2006. You may need drone reed extenders or low-pitch drone reeds to bring the drones in line with the chanter.
MG Drone Reeds - Mark II
MG Drone Reeds incorporate many of the best features available for synthetic reeds, like a stable carbon fiber bass tongue and natural tenor reed bodies. Composite reed bodies are great in Poly pipe, because they absorb the inevitable moisture. MG reeds were designed especially for use in McCallum pipes, but are compatible with many modern makes.
Features of Mark II MG Drone Reeds:
  • Wood/paper composite tenor bodies can absorb moisture
  • Plastic bass body
  • Carbon fiber bass tongue for tonal quality
  • Plastic tenor tongues
  • Flat rubber bridles for secure settings
  • Locking pitch adjuster screws
Designed and manufactured by Rory Grosart in partnership with McCallum Bagpipes
Canning Original Drone Reeds
Designed to re-create the sound of cane, Canning Drone Reeds generate rich harmonics. The full bass and resonant tenors complement each other magnificently. This superior quality of sound combined with the consistent quality of production make Canning reads an excellent choice.

  • Cotton-based absorbent Tufnol bodies
  • Flat, stay-put bridles
  • Tenor & bass reeds have different style tongues to produce great harmonics & balance
  • Carbon fiber bass tongue
