Product information "Bflat Ezeedrone Drone Reeds - Set"
The Ezeedrone Bflat Drone Reeds, complete with one long bass reed and two long tenor reeds, are specially crafted to enable you to tune your bagpipes to Bflat, harmonising at concert pitch 440Hz. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals looking to play along with other instruments in orchestras, wind bands, or folk music ensembles.
These reeds have been engineered for compatibility with Bflat Pipe Chanters, such as the McCallum Bflat Chanter or the Shepherd Orchestral Chanter. While some drone reeds can be adjusted to tune to Bflat, many cannot. Even with adjustable drone reeds, frequent retuning can be a hassle, particularly when switching between standard and Bflat chanters.
The Ezeedrone Bflat Drone Reeds offer a convenient solution to this problem. Simply switch out your drone reeds when you set your Bflat Chanter, and you're ready to play without any major adjustments.
Ezeedrone, as a trusted name in the bagpipe accessory industry, has developed these Bflat Drone Reeds with the quality and consistency expected of their brand. The result is a reliable performance, making your transition to Bflat play seamless and straightforward.
These reeds are robustly constructed from durable materials, ensuring they can withstand various playing conditions. In addition to providing a consistent tonal output, these reeds require minimal adjustments post-installation, which means tuning and maintenance is straightforward and user-friendly.
Whether you're looking to expand your musical range or simply need a set of drone reeds that can adjust to Bflat, the Ezeedrone Bflat Drone Reeds provide an excellent solution, simplifying the process and ensuring a beautiful, harmonious sound.
Set (1 Long bass reed, 2 Long tenor reeds).

B♭ (B flat) bagpipes are designed to play at approximately 466 Hz, which corresponds to B♭ in concert pitch. This makes them ideal for playing together with orchestral or folk instruments tuned to A = 440 Hz.
In comparison, standard Highland bagpipes typically play much sharper, around 478 to 482 Hz. This is often referred to (inaccurately) as "A", but it actually lies somewhere between concert A and B♭, significantly higher than modern concert tuning.
When referring to B♭ bagpipes, pipers often use the term "flat", meaning they are about 10 to 15 Hz lower than standard bagpipe pitch. This lower pitch allows better integration with other instruments.
For simplicity, musicians commonly refer to B♭ bagpipes as being "at 440 Hz" to align with standard tuners, even though the actual pitch is 466 Hz. This is a practical convention used to avoid confusion when coordinating with non pipers or ensemble settings.
All products in this category, including B♭ chanters and flat drone reeds, are designed to match this lower tuning standard and are intended for use in concert or ensemble environments where tuning compatibility is essential.
