MH1 Bagpipe Chanter Reeds

The MH1 Chanter Reeds are designed for pipers who value consistency, stability, and rich tonal character. Crafted by MH Reeds, a collaboration between respected pipers and reedmakers Derek Marr and Ali Hutton, these reeds are the result of decades of experience in solo, band, and folk piping.

Each MH1 reed is easily identified by its black binding thread (in contrast to the purple-bound MH2 reed), and is ridge cut for a bright, vibrant sound. Available in three strengths—Easy, Medium, and Hard—there’s an MH1 to suit pipers at every level, from learners to professionals.

  • Available strengths: Easy (ideal for learners), Medium (balanced and popular with most players), Hard (for stronger blowing preference)
  • Pitch range: Approximately 478 Hz to 484 Hz, depending on chanter and climate
  • Responsive and stable, making them suitable for solo performance or pipe band settings
  • Hand-finished and individually tested for consistency and quality control

These reeds are designed to maintain tonal richness, even during extended play, and have quickly earned the trust of players in both competitive and traditional music settings.

Whether you are upgrading from a beginner reed or fine-tuning your tone for competition or performance, the MH1 Chanter Reed is a reliable and musical choice.
