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.

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.

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.

Shepherd chanters have an established history with award-winning bands and solo pipers.  This is the classic version of the Shepherd Blackwood pipe chanter.  Shepherd chanters are made in Scotland by RT Shepherd and Son.

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.
