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.

Crozier Drone Reeds also feature a fixed tongue support that sits in a recess at the end of the reed body for stability. The reeds are very easy to set up using the airtight tuning plug and bridle for tonal alterations and have been designed for pipers ranging from beginners to the most advanced pipers.

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 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.
The unique design avoids ever having to spring the tongue and the choice of three screw positions allow for pitch and tonal preferences. 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.
