Title: Pakistan Reeds Better than Most...
Review: I've been playing bagpipes for over 24 years. My first practice chanter was a poly regular Dunbar with a "brand name" reed that never worked out that well for me. After a couple of months, I purchased a couple Pakistan reeds as I was on a tight budget way back then, and I still use them to this day. Ten years ago I purchased a long African Blackwood chanter, and after wasting $60 on "brand name" reeds, I went out on a limb and tried one of my old Pakistan reeds, and it worked like a charm! I still use it today. I recently purchased a couple more just so that I won't ever be without them. The price is very good and it's just a reed, afterall. This is something Pakistani craftsmen actually do well. Bagpipes are a different story, and I would agree with everyone else here that they should be avoided. However, these reeds are great because they play in ANY poly or wood practice chanter without squealing or double-sounding, and at this price, you can't lose.
Is the review positive or negative?
