Selbie drone reeds have some unique design features, come standard with an inverted bass reed, and produce a warm, mellow tone. Developed by Neil Selbie. Made in Scotland.

                  

With the Tone Protector reed cap, your pipe chanter reed is protected, humidified, and ready to play. The digital display on the Tone Protector shows temperature and humidity readings, allowing you to see the results and and know when to replace the 2-way humidification packet. Having a performance-ready reed saves time and adds peace of mind. To install the packet, squeeze the soft rubber body of the Tone Protector and remove the digital cap. Then, fold and wrap the 2-way packet in the interior channel. Packets will last longer in moist climates and when the pipes are played frequently. Designed by Jori Chisholm of Bagpipelessons.com.

The Emerald reed is a ridge-cut reed that delivers competition-worthy sound in lighter strengths. It's clear and reliable, made by the same reedmaker as the popular Abedour reed. The ridge-cut design reduces break-in time and lends stability when the reed is moist. Made in Scotland by Duncan Soutar.

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.

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.

 

This is a set of 3 replacement tongues for Shepherd SM90 Drone Reeds. Tongues are only available in complete sets. The tongues should be replaced periodically in order to get the most from the reeds.
