Example of pipe chanter reed, by Wygent Reeds.

Our firm offers top quality cane pipe chanter reeds, which have been made by Mark Wygent since April, 1981. Our reeds are fashioned from the finest hard, well-cured Mediterranean reed cane, (arundo donax) and are accompanied by useful tip sheets. Pipe chanter reeds are offered in three graduated strengths:Easy/Medium/Hard. These reeds are made slowly and well, in the old style, one at a time, and are all tested without exception at the bench in a pipe chanter prior to shipment. They will pitch comfortably in most pipe chanters at 472-474cps, right out of the box. If you are looking for a high level of craftsmanship and consistency in your pipe chanter reeds, you need search no further. They are available in limited quantities only.
