"Silk" (actually Rayon) drone cords seem to wear better than wool and look better too.

Selbie Drone Reeds - Replacement Tongues - Set 3 The Selbie replacement reed tongues are uniquely designed so they do not need to be glued to the reed body. The tongues can be removed and cleaned of residue at any time.

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.

Designed and manufactured by Rory Grosart in partnership with McCallum Bagpipes

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.

This is a great modern UK chanter, with wonderful tonal balance, comfortable feel, and good volume. The long chanter is recommended for teens and adult learners for better posture and projection. A logo on the chanter top proudly identifies this as a Wallace product. Made in Scotland.

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.
