1. Didn't need much tape, sound is good

   Posted by Gail on 14th Jun 2024

   I haven't played with it much yet so I can't speak of durability obviously. What I can say is it took a LOT less to get it in tune. God knows that's a win. I have an Infinity chanter that is very picky with reeds. I ordered both easy and medium since I have not used this before. I think I'm in between. :( Why not? I am in sizes of clothes! They do seem to be sized accurately with strength. Has a nice crow out of box

2. Great reed for Shepherd MK3

   I had been struggling to find a good reed for my Shepherd, MK3 chanter and was told to try and Higgins reed. Since I received this reed, it’s been quite a pleasure playing it.

3. My go-to reed

   Posted by Kilty McBride on 20th Nov 2023

   Always a crisp crow and a good player. My pipes are set up for dry reed playing and the Higgins reed always settles in nicely. As a solo piper, I need reeds I can depend on to tune in quickly and stay while waiting around to play.

4. reliable reeds

   Our band has used Higgins chanter reeds exclusively since founding in 2000. They reliably provide bright, steady tone over a variety of blowing strengths and playing skills.

5. Great reeds

   Really solid reeds. I got east reeds. They come in around 30.

6. Best Pipe Reeds in US

   Reeds are very responsive and of excellent quality

7. Stable Reed

   This reed is reliable and very stable. No fluctuations with this reed!

8. Higgins easy reeds

   Posted by Thomas Johnston on 8th Aug 2022

   I ordered 6 Higgins easy reeds. Three of these reeds were so strong I could not blow them. Only 1 Reed could be considered an easy Reed. Very disappointing. (John's reply: Sorry to hear this. We test these and will be happy to take a look at them if you'd like to return).

9. Stable Reed

   This reed never fails. It is good for band and solo playing. The pitch is always stable. I’ve tried them all and in my opinion Higgins reeds are the best for stability and tone quality.

10. Great Reed

    Because I have gotten older, this “easy” reed is perfect for me. I had to make very little adjustments to my chanter.
