Balance Tone HR drone reeds

Posted by john fairless on 28th Jan 2022

I’ve used Balance Tone reeds off and on for twelve years now depending on what band i’m playing for. I recently plugged these into my Henderson set and instantly remembered why they’re my favorite. They are super easy to adjust on the fly, don’t take too much air and the sound has a lot of layers with solid starts and stops.
I was "blown away"!

I made the switch to 'modern' reeds in the mid 80's and never had a problem with my old Henderson's. I kept upgrading over the years and they continued to sound great with Wygent, EZ's, Cannings, and Kinnairds...until recently. They suddenly got fussy with everything in the drawer, so I thought I'd give BT/HR a try. Wow! The ease of setting them up and adjusting, alone, is worth 5 stars. Then the strike, the tuning, the harmonics, and the air-efficiency are worth another 5 stars. They tune and lock quickly, and pick them up next day they play like you never put them down. I've got another set on order now for a different set of pipes.

I really like these reeds. They are very stable, easy to make adjustments, and less buzzy than regular Balance Tone reeds.
excellent

These have greatly improved my son's McCallum bagpipes to sounding better than ever. These eliminate his need for drone corks while tuning.
Great Product!

From the moment I put them on it not only improved the sound but it also made the drones easier to play and the bagpipe easier to be controlled. Just what I needed ! Great product!!
Amazing product

In combination with the valves of the same brands the improvement has been impressive! Much easier to start and stop the drones and has an excellent sound!
