Strengths
and Handling
The
Clanrye Pipe Chanter Reed is a fixed strength reed which cannot be modified
in any way. Because of this, it must simulate a "played in"
cane reed. A new cane reed is harder to blow at first, (if it stayed the
same strength, the player would have problems keeping up the blowing pressure).
We have measured the airflow and pressure from a constant sourse to test
and gauge the strengths equated to "played in" cane reeds, and
therefore offer three strengths.
