Hand Selected Chanter Reeds

Tired of paying for reeds that arrive and aren't compatible with your bagpipe? J. Higgins, Ltd is here to help. All of our chanter reeds are selected and tested by hand before they go out the door. However, with this flat rate, you are buying reeds that are not only blown for strength but for tone, stability, projection, and pitch. We give you the option to send us your personal chanter, test for strength in a blowing gauge, and choose optimum pitch. Throughout the process, we will be in contact with you to select the best reeds for your instrument. Not everything is guaranteed, but we will do our best for you in the selection of fine reeds for your instrument. 

If you send us your chanter, we typically repack using the same materials sent to us. A long cylindrical tube is best for chanters and the additional bubble wrap or paper is great for wooden chanters. We ask that chanters are stripped of tape and are cleaned before sending them to us. We do not carve holes on chanters, alter reed seats, replace/add soles, or make reeds specifically for a chanter. Feel free to add a reed protector to your cart for us to include when we send your order to you.
