The Piper's Ultimate Reed Poker for Bagpipe Chanter Reeds with Storage Case

Description

The Piper's Ultimate Reed Poker
is a must-have if you want to have a world-class bagpipe sound. It will bring your reeds back to life and it will save you hundreds of dollars that you'd otherwise spend on new reeds.
One of the best-kept secrets of top pipers is the the specialized tool called a reed poker.
Use the poker when your pipe chanter reed starts to get a little bit too easy, chirps, squeals, or starts to sound sharp and thin.
As you play a new reed, it starts to break in, getting easier and more efficient. But the cane can get too soft -- this is where the reed poker comes in.
A small adjustment (we're talking 1/1000ths of an inch) to the metal staple inside the reed can bring a reed back to life, extend the playable life of the reed, and give you a brighter, crisper, stronger, more stable sound.
The only way to open up a reed from the inside is with a reed poker.
It has a smooth point which allows you to precisely control just how much you want to open the reed.
Easy-to-use.  Totally intuitive.
Simply insert the poker a bit further to open up the reed a little bit more.
Other blunt, square-sh
aped pokers can get stuck or can damage the reed by twisting.
Here's what one piper wrote about the The Piper's Ultimate Reed Poker:
Best. Reed. Poker. Yet...  Out of about 20 reeds that were the "last to be picked"... it made four reeds I previously would have dismissed and turned them "very usable."  Two reeds that were "borderline", were quickly turned into "quite good".
It's already paid for itself.
