I have recently (being, as ever, well behind the curve!) come across some drone reeds with turned wood bodies and cane tongues....
They were rather nice - quite loud - but not as harsh as some of the louder metal bodied reeds - though I suspect individual reeds might differ according to build.
Does anyone have any form with these turned wooden bodies - particularly with respect to wood selection - and any pitfalls!
Am about to start experimenting - but it seemed sensible to see if there are lessons that have already been learned by wiser heads than mine!!
