Bear in mind the tuning pin used with rush wire and blobs of wax/hemp (or both) is used to flatten the system. It is not possible to sharpen with rush. From the Heagarty book: "Fault - Low notes persistently flat when upper notes correct. Cause/Remedy/Remarks Note holes may be in wrong position...

Lifting the chanter bell is also a nice setup, but yeah, that's how I sneak into the higher registers.

Can't go wrong with it. I haven't met a penny chanter I didn't like. You may wish to troll ebay for used, too.

Waves have physical shapes. Hard D can also be affected by changing the orientation of a rush in the bell, shape of the lips, symmetry (or lack thereof). Not surprised at all.

Hi, just wanted to let folks know I have moved my website to Wild Goose Studios. Music, reed making, pipe making stuff is no longer handled at the Wordpress site for Wild Goose Reeds. Thank you, and stay healthy out there!

You would do fine with what is generally followed for a Rowesome style reed, and substitute with a tubing staple.

Might look into getting a new reed.

Sort of off-topic, but I would also recommend considering Benedict's video series on the NPU site. He helps you connect with your inner reed-whisperer.

I have shipped many reeds to customers during colder weather, and they have survived just fine. I can't imagine there will be that big of a problem.

Best. Thread. Ever!

This discussion by Evertjan 't Hart covers a variety of mics, and gives a good description of the sound with the pickup on the reed:

It takes a bit of practice, but I usually think of it as bouncing my finger. Keep your fingers relaxed.
