Bagpipe drone reed

摘要

A bagpipe reed system is disclosed. A reed seat body is substantially tubular and includes a bleed hole through one side. An open end is attachable to a bagpipe drone or chanter. A planar reed substantially overlies the bleed hole and is held at one end by a reed mount to the reed seat body. The reed seat body has an external reed seat surface around the bleed hole which is shaped such that the planar reed diverges from the reed seat body. The reed seat surface is preferably a curved plane. A reed pitch adjuster is preferably mounted to the reed seat surface.
