Howard reed
I’ve come in possession of a Howard chanter and the reed seems a bit quiet throughout and somewhat choked on back D. I will fuss with it a bit but I’m not very good with that kind of thing. Was wondering if there are any reed makers fitting for a Howard chanter? Thanks for all your help and advice. Happy New Year.

Re: Howard reed
Brian Howard would, I guess? He retired from pipe making, but apparently still makes reeds. He might even be able to advise on adjustments to the reed you have before you replace it.Johnered66 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 2:00 pm Was wondering if there are any reed makers fitting for a Howard chanter?

Re: Howard reed
Yew, Brin still makes reeds. If you are interested, here is a recent interview I did with Brian, covering his entire pipemaking career https://www.wetootwaag.com/s5e27

Re: Howard reed
I was able to place an order and it’s shipped out. Should be arriving in a week. Thanks all.
