Description
Chris Apps Chanter Reeds
The Apps G3 bagpipe chanter reed is cut with a CNC mill and hand finished by Chris Apps. The technology ensures uniformity while the hand finish guarantees quality. Every reed produced is free, has a huge volume, is stable and produces a big vibrant sound throughout the scale. 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 know 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.
