Warmac Chanter Reeds
Description Warmac Chanter Reeds
Made by Darren Warnock in Northern Ireland. A nice ridge cut reed. Very similar in playing characteristics as the Warnock reed. 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.

My band plays these reeds because they are reasonably consistent quality and sound great. They can vary somewhat in ease of playing so it's worth the surcharge for manual review. It's better to start with a reed that's too hard than one that is too easy!
