manufactured
in 1985. The new
release coincided 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. 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.

Drone Reeds are similar to the Omega Drone Reeds in that they operate with a curved
body
which allows the

adjustable,
the Crozier Carbon
Reeds are made with a permanent fixed curve.
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.

and also feature a double O ring bridle
and tongue support.

canister system in the pipe bag, the V2 drone
reeds have been designed to suit both
canister and traditional pipe bag set up.

plug and bridle for tonal alterations and have been designed
for pipers ranging from beginners to the most
advanced pipers.
