This practice chanter reed is made for us by Dougie Murray in Scotland. It has a shorter blade length, and is suitable for any of our practice chanters including the child size.

i like these Murray Reeds
I also received the Murray Practice Reeds and, so far, I love them as well. I had settled on Walsh reeds for my practice chanter. My band uses Fraser Warnock but I was not getting good performance from these reeds so I went back to Abbotts (Black or Blue), but they took a lot of air and were very loud, but they didn't blow out on me either, about three months ago I shifted to the Walsh reeds and I like them a lot. The Murray reeds are every bit as good and maybe just a tad better as far as easy to play, good sound, stout enough that I don't blow them out every other breath (I admit I am a beginner piper and probably am overblowing) ... so far I like them a lot and they make me sound better ... what more could you ask.

Great Reed
Just got two of these today and they work great. A very easy reed to play, doesn't take much air. No issues with squeaking or anything. Is very quiet compared to a few other PC reeds I play. Using this in a Tru Tone long chanter. My son is using it in a regular McCallum PC and it's more in tune than the other reed he's used to playing.

Disappointed
This reed is hard to play, and squawks on random notes. It was well-recommended, but I find it does not live up to those recommendations .

Good tone
I am using this reed in the Higgins long model pc. It's got a great tone and is easy playing. A minor issue, I will have to swap out to a different reed when playing with the band as it is pitched a bit low to be able to sink it far enough to match tone. Not a big deal, I will use it in solo practice.
