Thanks Hendersons, I've been deciding to get a new set of reeds as I only had cheep plastics one running in my McCallums AB4s, so I want to get something that does this great set justice. I think I will probaly go with the E Z drone reeds, I know quite a few solo musicians that love them. Carbons are getting very popular to. great video. thanks. Liam from Perth, Western Australia
Very good video...I have been playing for quite a while so I recognize most of the popular brands of reeds (Kinnard, MG, Eazydrone), but others I do not. So I guess the only thing I would change is identifying each of reed brands in a given category. Thanks for this great video!
Great video. It tells us how complecated things are with drone reeds. You miss the Omega reeds,- they are a great product. You also miss to tell, that the different pipes have different bores and physics,- so what works for a set of McCallums, does not work for a set of Henderssons. I have basicly all of your drone reeds in my pipe case, and it is hard to choose..... cheers
On the Omega,I have an omega bass that is in my Hendersons that I love. And so spite all the settings,that was the easiest reed I've ever set up.Verry cane like with me Canning tennors. I also have some cane bass reeds that I play often just to keep them alive.
With all due respect, this is a narrative. There are no test findings tabled. For example a dB meter reveals that the standard Eeze bass is up to 30% louder (1-2 dB) than others. The dB scale is logarithmic (3dB increase is a doubling of sound pressure/volume). The Canning bass is a close 2nd. But louder is just one facet. As a general rule, the longer & harder a tongue is, the more harmonics there will be. That's why cane is the ultimate - lightweight, hard, long tongue and thermally inert.

Remarkably helpful! Thank you. Being a Colorado Piper I really appreciated the consideration for "high and dry" pipers. Great stuff!

as always a great video!
May i know which drone reeds are most suitable for poly pipes?
