Practice Chanter & Reed Compatibility
Content
Shepherd Pipe Chanter Reeds - Easy, Easy/Medium, and Medium/Hard
The classic molded Shepherd Pipe Chanter Reed is a tried and tested reed among top bands and soloists.
What Shepherd Says about Shepherd Pipe Chanter Reeds: "Our superior production methods and strict quality control at each stage of manufacture (10 stages in total) ensure that the length of the Shepherd reed remains constant in relation to its other variables. The end result - a unique reed produced and finished by a combination of dedicated craftsmen and advanced machinery techniques and providing greater efficiency, easy adjustment for weaker blowers and easy adjustment to raise pitch. This consistency makes it easier to manipulate the reed for the required strength and still maintained its desired consistency of pitch and vibrancy."
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.
Frazer Warnock Practice Chanter Reed
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.

Poly Chanter Reed Protector
The plastic reed protector fits over the the reed while it's in the pipe chanter reed seat.  The screw at the base of the reeds protector keep it in place at the end of the chanter.  This prevents chipping of the reed, thereby increasing chanter reed longevity.  Made in Canada by Dunbar.
Tone Protector Digital Chanter Cap - Black
                  
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.

  • Provides humidification, playability, and stability

Shepherd Tone Enhancers
By preventing excess moisture from reaching the drones, Tone Enhancers help with the common problems of unsteady blowing and holding a constant tone. Each Tone Enhancer contains a small amount of desiccant to draw moisture from air leaving the pipe bag through the drones. Tone enhancers are easy to install and remove, and they require very little space.
Shepherd Tone Enhancers Allow for:
  • Efficient airflow
  • Improved tonal stability
  • Easier blowing
  • Better strike-ins and sharper cut-outs
  • Non-intrusive moisture control
  • Refill kit available separately
Note: A zippered pipe bag is required for installation.
Reed Bands - Pack of 10 Rubber Reed Bridles
 
Reed bridles are used by some pipers to adjust the strength and pitch of pipe and practice chanter reeds.
 
 
Reed bands can be used to:
  • Weaken a reed slightly 
  • Sharpen the high "A"
  • Change the balance of a practice chanter (2 reeds are used in this case)
