A lady sent me a set of Eriksson pipes to reed. Do any of you guys know what dimentions Leif uses in his pipes. Cheers, Seth |

If it's for a D/G set, here's a sketch I made a while back of an original 1986 Eriksson chanter reed for a friend. This was made from Phragmites australis. I don't know if these dimensions will work in an E/A set or using Arundo donax.
Hope this helps. _________________ Jonathan |

On request, Leif also makes upcut reeds in Arundo donax (and blames me for having to do that ), and I'm pretty sure he then follows the instructions on my web site. _________________ Info on Swedish bagpipes at http://olle.gallmo.se/sackpipa

It is for an E/A set, but I appreciate the dimentions. I'm stuill haven't made a D/G set yet so those dimentions might come in handy. Thanks, Seth |

That works, thanks. I kind of figured the Faust type reed would also work in other pipes as well. I use your reed dimentions in my pipes and they work well. Sometimes I make them a bit longer like 60mm body and 40mm tongue and then add a bridle. Cheers Seth |
