Description

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. 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. 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. Simply insert the poker a bit further to open up the reed a little bit more.
