Kelt Drone Reeds

Description

Kelt Carbon Fiber drone reeds are designed by Mark Faloon to closely recreate the harmonics of traditional cane drone reeds with a minimal set-up time.

Kelt Carbon Fiber reeds provide great projection and stability, coupled with the smoothness associated with cane.

They are extremely air efficient and provide a very reliable and easy strike-in.

All reeds are tested by Mark Faloon before dispatch.

“While trialling the Kelt Drone Reeds I was impressed with the harmonic tone which blended well with the chanter to give me a full sounding bagpipe with a resonant bass sound. When I first tried the bass I swapped it back and forth with a cane reed and I could find very little difference. Then I tried the same thing with each of the tenors and again found a very pleasing natural sound with a nice sympathetic blend between tenor and bass. The drones were incredibly steady and I also found that once the reeds got wet, they remained stable. The reeds worked very well in my MacDougall pipes (which are normally quite hard to reed out) and I was happy with how they harmonically supported my chanter. I would consider these to be an impressive set of drone reeds.
