The Kinnaird Edge Drone Reeds are the first drone reed to incorporate a patented bendable tongue into the design.\u00a0 This unique feature allows the piper to adjust the strength of the drone reed without the use of the bridle.\u00a0 This is important since it allows the piper, for the first time, to make these adjustments independently.\u00a0 The bridle position determines the tongue\u2019s vibration frequency and this needs to be matched to the bore of the bagpipe.\u00a0 This coupling between the reed and the bore is critical to optimum sound and performance.\u00a0 All other reed designs require you to change this length to accommodate blowing strength.\u00a0 In many cases this leads to a mismatch between the acoustics of the tongue and the bore, which reduces coupling and deteriorates sound.\u00a0 The bendable tongue design allows a complete range of strength adjustment in one reed.\u00a0 The same reed can be adjusted to accommodate the blowing strength of a new piper all the way up to the strongest band players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
