“I’ve been frustrated with the inconsistency of pipe chanter reeds on the market. Ordering reeds through the mail is typically an awful, expensive process with most of the reeds being the wrong strength, inferior quality, or downright unplayable.

The Foundation reed is designed to be very resistant to pressure fluctuations, making it instantly more stable and easier to tune for players of all levels.”  -Jori Chisholm
