| I am one of those pipers that has never used cane reeds but I am thinking of trying them since everyone is talking about them like they are the "new" thing. This article helps me alot when it comes to what to look for with cane drone reeds. And I think I know where to find a good cane reedmaker!!!! |

| I think this is an excellent article. I use synthetic but it is a shame if youngsters coming through don't know how to set and manipulate can reeds properly and it may be that new pipers should be brought up with can and then t hey can decide later on to move to synthetic if they feel the urge. |

| It's been a few years, but the last cane reeds I used were Murray Henderson reeds. In a word: excellent. I used his cane bass drone reed with my synthetic tenors for a number of years until I found a synthetic bass drone reed to my liking. Why did I switch in the first place? Cane is cane and regardless of quality will always require tender loving care. Once set up properly synthetics are pretty much blow and go. Having said this Murray's article does have me thinking..... |
