Due to the increasing pitch of bagpipes in the last 20 years, the new Crozier Cane Reeds are now made to a higher pitch to suit today’s piper. Crozier Omega Drone Reeds Crozier Omega Drone Reeds are the worlds most unique synthetic drone reed where the reed body is curved down to allow the flat carbon fiber tongue to vibrate. The unique design avoids ever having to spring the tongue and the choice of three screw positions allow for pitch and tonal preferences.ar drone motor disassembly Crozer V2 Drone Reedar drone 2 teile Crozier V2 (version two) Drone reeds are the second generation of the original Crozier Carbon Drone reeds that were first manufactured in 2005.parrot minidrone preis The V2 reeds are equal to their predecessor in operation with a curved body which allows the flat carbon fiber tongue to vibrate.

The Crozier V2 Drone Reeds have a cane like tonal quality, are higher in pitch and also feature a double O ring bridle and tongue support. The original Crozier Carbon Drone Reeds are designed for pipers using a canister system in the pipe bag, the V2 drone reeds have been designed to suit both canister and traditional pipe bag set up. Crozer Carbon Drone Reed Crozier Carbon Drone Reeds are similar to the Crozier Glass and Crozier Omega Drone Reeds in that they operate with a curved body which allows the flat carbon fiber tongue to vibrate. Unlike the Crozier Omega reeds where the curve is adjustable, the Crozier Carbon Reeds are made with a permanent fixed curve and are mainly designed for pipers using a canister system in the pipe bag. Crozier Drone Reeds also feature a fixed tongue support that sits in a recess at the end of the reed body for stability. Crozer Cane Drone Reed The new release coincides with the 20th anniversary of the original reed that was made from a black plastic body with a flat sealed cane tongue.

Identical in manufacturing methods and using the original tools and machinery, the Crozier Cane Reeds are equal to their predecessor in operation and performance but with a modern body design. Crozer Omega Drone Reed Please note: The Crozier Omega Drone Reed is currently unavailable. The degree of curvature on the reed body is adjusted with a small grub screw located in one of three positions on the underside of the reed. Replacing the traditional bridle is a tuning clip that slides on a small track on the reed and is fixed into position with a small grub screw. Pitch and/or tonal adjustments can also be made by altering the position of the rubber tuning plug.Kinnaird Evolution Drone Reeds Kinnaird Evolution Drone Reeds The Kinnaird Carbon Fibre Drone reed was redesigned in 2013 to improve the brightness and brilliance of the tenor reeds.  The Kinnaird Evolution Drone Reeds are bright but not buzzy.  The very popular Kinnaird Bass reed is largely the same as the previous design with slightly more power. 

Similar to the Kinnaird Carbon Fibre Reed, a metal set screw and allen key allows for easy adjustment of tuning height. The reed body and seats are glass fibre and stronger than other reeds. Pitch adjustment is with the tuning screw in the nose cone.  The o-ring bridle is used to control air flow.  These reeds are extremely air efficient.  They are easy to set-up and offer excellent moisture resistance.  The reeds have a curved carbon fibre molded tongue. If you play an easy reed or struggle with your pipes, consider the "Easy" version which come set up out of the box easier than our regular reeds. Customization available, please inquire. Since launching the Evolution Drone Reeds in May 2013, we have sold over 3000 sets so far! "I have been playing a full set of the new Kinnaird Evolution Drone Reeds and am absolutely delighted with the entire combination.  In my Naill pipe they are producing a full tonal quality without being overpowering.  The tenors are tuning around the hemp line, resulting in a bright and warm effect. 

They balance perfectly with the bass.  The harmonics resulting from the entire combination are quite impressive.  All three reeds are extremely air efficient, and probably require about the same amount of air as a good going set of cane reeds.  They produce a depth and warmth without the undesirable buzz associated with many synthetic reeds.  I am also pleased with their ease of "strike in" and how easy it is to manage an efficient cutoff at the end of a performance.  The efficiency of the reeds allows for amazing tuning stability while performing.  In short, I'm loving these reeds!" - Bob Worrall "I have played Rob Kinnaird’s drone reeds for years in both my sets of Henderson pipes. I thought I had the perfect reed for the perfect instrument. It is hard to improve on perfection, but Rob has done it. Using his engineering background, he has taken a great product and made it a superlative product. By harmonically analyzing the tenor sound, he has been able to enhance the timbre.

Not one of us can single out a specific harmonic, but it is obvious that the higher end harmonics are present in the current model. Immediately on inserting the tenor reeds I hear an impressive “new” brightness to the tone quality – something I have never experienced before. They are stable and easily pitched using his unique nosecone screw to set the tenors well up on the hemp line for superior resonance and tuning stability. I experienced a slight increase in volume as well, part due to their perfect match. The bass has been altered slightly to produce a harmonious blend with the tenors. Air efficiency is superb. In fact, these reeds strike in with ease, a feature every piper will enjoy… no fear of early introductions. Cut offs are precise with little need for stoppage plugs. I have played these reeds for many hours of enjoyment. Count on me to order another set for my pipes and encourage all my students to do likewise. Well done, Rob…. much appreciated." - Ken Eller "I've been enjoying playing your redesigned drone reeds.
