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.
Shepherd SM90 Drone Reeds
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.
Features of Shepherd SM90s:
  • Plastic reed body
  • Thick plastic tongues
  • Telescoping pitch adjustment
  • Plastic bridle
  • White Spacer indicates ideal setting for Shepherd drones
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
Deluxe Tartan Bag Cover - Black Watch
This is a premium-quality tartan cover, made with authentic Black Watch tartan cloth and crafted with attention to detail. The stitching is all nicely finished, and there are extra features: a zippered bottom and a Velcro back. Made in the UK.
Features of the Deluxe Black Watch Bag Cover:
  • Authentic tartan cloth
  • Clean, finished look
  • Traditional wool fringe trim
  • Long bottom zipper
  • Velcro back
Canning Blue Drone Reeds
Canning Blue drone reeds have a moisture-proof body that can be dried for extended playing time. Compared with Canning Original Drone Reeds, the Blue reeds have increased brightness, vibrancy, and volume.
Features of Canning Blue Drone Reeds:
  • Moisture-proof reed body
  • Bright and vibrant sound
  • Tenor & bass reeds have different style tongues to produce great harmonics & balance
  • Carbon fiber bass tongue
  • Polycarbonate tenor tongues
  • Flat, stay-put bridles
  • Setscrew in detachable nose-cone to allow easy pitch adjustments
