The Ross bag has a suede-like, red exterior that offers good grip and, plus vibrance and harmonics. It's heavier than most synthetic bags, but lighter than hybrids. The bag requires no seasoning and is virtually maintenance free. Plus, it's more hygienic and has a longer lifespan than most hide bags. The zipper is easier to pull and requires only a dab of lubricant at the end. The zipper is angled for minimum contact with your arm.

Installation Tip:  Over-tightening the clamp can damage the chanter stock.

This light-blowing practice reed is a great fit for most chanters and a customer favorite. This reed also pairs well with older wooden chanters and UK-made chanters.

We believe a great reed should be easy to find. We store and select reeds with care. For pipe chanter and practice chanter reed details and compatibility, see our Reed Chart.

RedWood reeds get their color from Padouk wood. The carbon fiber bass tongue and glass fiber tenors produce a bass-forward sound with well balanced tenor drones. Normal moisture issues will be well managed by the absorbent natural bodies, and the carbon fiber bass tongue should help with stability in wet conditions. Made in France.

SM90s are designed especially for Shepherd bagpipes. Blade and bridle position are pre-set for quick and simple installation. Instructions are provided on a convenient laminated card. Your reeds will come with white plastic spacers with a slit. The spacers prevent the reeds from telescoping in when you seat them in your drones, but they can also be removed.

MG Carbon reeds are designed to deliver stability and tone and have been nicknamed White Mambas. The plastic bodies and carbon fiber tongues help play through moisture. The powerful sound of carbon fiber is softened in the tenors, with a specially shaped tongue. This results in better balance between bass and tenors. Designed and manufactured by Rory Grosart, in partnership with McCallum Bagpipes.
