G1 Bb Platinum Chanter Reeds

 
G1 Bb Platinum reeds produce more resonance and clarity than the original G1 reed,  particularly on the top hand. The Bb reed is specifically suited to modern Bb chanters.  It locks in perfectly with your drones producing a lovely balance and True Sound.

Available in Easy+ and Medium strength.   
   

Helpful Tips:
-when you receive your reeds, slightly dampen them &, if necessary, pinch the sound box.  Pinching will ease it & allow easier blowing-in experience.  You may pinch the reed occasionally to maintain the ease of blowing.
-if, after pinching, the reed is still too strong, you may need to slightly scrape the blades of the lay (the top half of the reed).  Do only a little at a time and evenly on each side.  Use a very sharp utility knife and scrape lightly.  A rubber band (3/16" diameter & force 4 oz) placed just above the black hemp will ease the reed too.
-if you find the reed is flat on the 'F', pinch the reed; applying rubberbands may help too.  If you have this problem with an easier reed, you can trim the tips of the blades with a very sharp knife.
