Gannaway New Zealand is proud to announce that Colin MacLellan Pipe Reeds are now available in New Zealand.
Colin draws on his significant competitive success at the highest levels of solo and band work, years of experience making and setting up reeds for solo and band situations, and the determination to do something markedly different-and better-than what is currently available in the marketplace. Over the last few years, Colin has put significant research and development into producing the finest bagpipe reeds.
The new MacLellan reeds are manufactured using the most exacting standards employed anywhere. Before selection, each piece of premium French cane is hand selected and tested - any cane which does not meet minimum standards of colour and hardness is immediately rejected. Staples are made from folded copper [not the cheaper and brassier seamless], are airtight in construction and flawlessly symmetrical.
Reeds stocked at Gannaway New Zealand are of medium strength, but we also supply a senior's or beginner's strength, guaranteed to be easily blown by any piper! The finishing process used in making MacLellan reeds is far in excess of what is common in the reedmaking industry. Each reed comes individually stored in its own airtight, labelled container after having been tested three times in each of Naill, MacCallum, and Kron pipe chanters. Requests for testing in other makes of chanters are readily accepted.
In general, MacLellan reeds cost a little more than generic reeds which you can buy from dealers and piping shops. For a very small premium, however, the customer will get an individually hand-finished product. This will guarantee over the longer term to save money and time.
Colin MacLellan Reeds - guaranteed to play vibrantly in tune and at the strength you require!
