Ross Chanter Reeds
Description Ross Chanter Reeds
Ross reeds are a favorite of pipe bands at all levels. This ridge cut reed has a big sound and works well in a wide range of chanters. Available in medium and easy strengths. Shipped humidified and ready to play.
Helpful Tips:
-when you receive your reeds, slightly dampen them &, if necessary, pinch the sound box. Pinching will ease it & allow easier blowing-in experience. You may pinch the reed ocasionally to maintain the ease of blowing.
-if, after pinching, the reed is still too strong, you may need to slightly scrape the blades of the lay (the top half of the reed). Do only a little at a timeand evenly on each side. Use a very sharp utility knife and scrape lightly. A rubber band (3/16" diameter & force 4 oz) placed just above the black hemp wil ease the reed too.
-if you find the reed is flat on the 'F', pinch the reed; applying rubberbands may help too. If you have this problem with an easier reed, you can trim the tips of the blades with a very sharp knife.

This reed will make any chanter sound like a champion. This reed is especially good in McCallum chanters. The only thing that isn't amazing as far as these reeds go, is they need a little tweaking before they give you the best sound , January 18th, 2011 11:48 am

This reed used to be the best in the market, but the quality and consistency has not been the same over the 2009 season. "Classic" Ross reeds produce a great volume and quality of sound perfect for either band or solo performances.
