The Shepherd Pipe Chanter Reed (Ridge-Cut) is a tried and tested reed among top bands and soloists.
The Shepherd reeds undergo superior production methods and strict quality control at each stage of manufacture process (10 stages total) to 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 to provide 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 maintaine its desired consistency of pitch and vibrancy.
All Shepherd reeds and instruments are designed to deliver a pitch combination of 472Hz - 475Hz and above depending on climatic conditions.
Available in Medium & Hard Strengths.
