CA 2266172

One particular design for providing a substitute to a cane reed incorporates a wood-based, polymer body (the tube), two thin plastic tongues, regulated by a short length of synthetic tubing (the bridle). A brass or plastic tube is screwed or pressed in one end to form the "seat" of the reed, or that portion which is pressed into the bagpipe itself. An opposite end of the tubular body includes a tuning pin to change a pitch of the reed. The bagpipe reed is fashioned from a hollow tube as a body, threaded or tapered at both ends to provide for the use of a threaded or tapered plug (tuning pin) at either end, employed to adjust airflow and pitch. The tuning pin is a socket headed cap screw having external threads at one end and an enlarged, knurled head at the opposite end. The head includes a hexagonal shaped opening for rotation of the tuning pin into and out of the tubular body by an alien wrench. The opposite end of the tubular body includes a threaded and tapered reed seat or moveable insertion base for the reed. The reed seat may be externally threaded at one end and include wrapped waxed threads in a tapered, conical configuration at the opposite end. The reed seat is moulded to include a plurality of ridges to assist in gripping waxed thread wrapped around the reed seat.
