RIDGE-CUT REEDS (APPS G4)
	The Apps ridge cut, also known as the G4 reed, has been developed to cater primarily for pipe bands. The G4 pitches slightly higher than the G3 reed and is available in medium and hard strengths. Compared to the G3 this reed is more forgiving with pitches versus pressure making band setup easier. Manufactured with the same state of the art equipment as the G3 with a folded brass staple. This reed produces a very crisp bright tone throughout the scale and a clear strong high A without a heavy crow. It works well in all the common brands of band chanter.	$16.00
MOLDED REEDS (APPS G3)
	The Apps moulded chanter reed, also known as the G3, bagpipe chanter reed is cut with a CNC mill and hand finished by Chris Apps. The technology ensures uniformity while the hand finish guarantees quality. The folded brass staple ensures each reed has a powerful, stable top hand and projects plenty of volume. This staple is also key to our perfect piobaireachd high G. The G3 reed produces a sound with plenty of depth and harmonics. We can set strength to exact specification if requested.	$16.00
MOLDED REEDS SET TO STRENGTH Strength Gauge reading Super soft 18 - 22 Soft 22 - 26 Soft/Medium 26 - 30 Medium 30 - 35 Medium/Hard 35 - 40 Hard 40+ $2.50 per reed Let Chris match the G3 chanter reeds you order to your specific strength requirement. Chris uses the pressure gauge to set the strength of the reed exactly. The strength setting is marked on the reed. Even if you do not own a guage you can choose a setting from the strength table at the bottom of this page and we will send a G3 chanter reed set to your specified strength. The next time you order a G3 chanter reed you can ask for the same strength or something slightly different. *Note: not available for the G4 chanter reed

A full rich woody sound pitched the same as our plastic practice reeds and blown with the same resistance. The difference is in the full rich tone that only cane can produce.
