i had the reeds @ 1:54 for about a week or 2 and they were crap.. always cut out no matter how you set them up.. then i got Ezeedrone reeds and i havent looked back have them with years..couldnt be happer
I´m playing an Sheperd S1 made about 2003 and i´m real happy with this set of pipes!
No Cracks till now, great sound wood looking very good!!!
Than i bought an Peter Henderson Set of Pipes made by Hardie 2008 on 2009 and i´m not feel that lucky with that set!
I never will buy again an set of pipes made by hardie, because i feld so unlucky, but may there is someting like an roulette to get a real good bagpipe of the great pipemakers?
I play on a Shepherd imitation ivory set in one band. It's 11 years old and its all chipped, tenor drones are cracked and the stocks have had to be replaced. I play a 30 year old half-mount Hardie in another band and its got no problems whatsoever.
Both have SM90 Drone Reeds
Just have to be very careful with the Shepherd pipes...
No arguments from me. Just wish they threaded their projecting mounts, ferrules, and caps. And I know tone is all subjective, but I prefer a beefier bass drone than is the standard Naill bass.
I personally play a MacLellan...which is a Henderson-bored instrument with slight modifications on the tenors.
Shephard is really a fantastic bagpipe producer. I must also say, there are a number of super bagpipe makers that really do a good job of making pipes. Mullinder is a good example!
I'm wondering what that piece that's being played is called?

Zarah needs a shorter blowpipe on that set.

You know what's ironic is that you're hearing a set of Naill bagpipes in the background...not a set of Shepherds.
(The background music is Jori Chisholm playing "The Little Spree").
