Selbie Drone Reeds

These composite-body reeds, two years in the development and testing process, and now in their Mark 3 version, bring several innovations to the synthetic reed market, including an injection-molded tongue, a patented T-joint tongue/body attachment, and an airtight locking-nut tuning screw. They've got a particularly strong bass sound and pleasant steady tenors. Tone Czar Bagpipes ships the Inverted Bass reed standard, for easier starts, and the same great tone.

Neil Selbie is P/M of the Bucksburn & District (Grade 2) band in Aberdeen, Scotland, and a veteran cane drone reed maker.
