I'm working on reeding my tenor regulator with phosphor bronze reeds. The reg is in the style of Rowsome narrow bore. I'm using the technique described by DM Quinn in the Summer 2000 Piper's Review article.
I cannot seem to get it to stop double toning on the F#, while all other notes work properly and are at pitch. I'm not terribly experienced in making reeds. Does anyone have general suggestions on how to prevent this?
Thanks!

- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Re: Bronze Regulator Reeds
I’d check the usual culprits: bore obstruction, hole obstruction, and material within the reedhead chamber.
