Re: elder drone reed

0.80 euro seems OK for good cane drone quills IMO, considering their scarcity. Good luck! Bill He's right y'know! As there is a percentage of waste cane when you buy drone or chanter cane, you can always practice on the crap pieces. i.e. if it's bent/warped, just practice cutting the tongue, you'll...

Bump, as one might say on the inatrnet.

Shurely shomeone must have got a set of Froment Ds and a Digi SLR camera for Christmas?
