One of the best-kept secrets of top pipers is the the specialized tool called a reed poker.
Use the poker when your pipe chanter reed starts to get a little bit too easy, chirps, squeals, or starts to sound sharp and thin.
As you play a new reed, it starts to break in, getting easier and more efficient. But the cane can get too soft -- this is where the reed poker comes in.
A small adjustment (we're talking 1/1000ths of an inch) to the metal staple inside the reed can bring a reed back to life, extend the playable life of the reed, and give you a brighter, crisper, stronger, more stable sound.
The only way to open up a reed from the inside is with a reed poker.
It has a smooth point which allows you to precisely control just how much you want to open the reed.
Easy-to-use. Totally intuitive.
Simply insert the poker a bit further to open up the reed a little bit more.
Other blunt, square-shaped pokers can get stuck or can damage the reed by twisting.
The Piper's Ultimate Reed Poker is a must-have if you want to have a world-class bagpipe sound. It will bring your reeds back to life and it will save you hundreds of dollars that you'd otherwise spend on new reeds.

2:10 I wasn't ready for this... My neighbours either! haha
This tool is amazing! I used it on a previously unplayable reed that was way too easy and made terrible noises on the low notes. The reed now plays SO well I actually can't believe it's me playing when I hear it. Thank you Jori for your creation.
Thanks! I'm so glad The Piper’s Ultimate Reed Poker is working so well for you. As I say in the video, sometimes the very BEST sounding reed is one that has been played for a while and then gets too easy and then gets a poke! Better than new even... Happy Piping!
You've brought my shawm back to life! My neighbors do not thank you.
Great video; and, very enjoyable to watch.
I've got something very similar, when I bought the 'Chanter Reed Adjustment Kit' from Chris Apps Reeds, more than 15 years ago, when I visited Chris when he lived in Essex, UK, before he left to live in the States. It's called a mandrel.
piperbob2 Thanks for commenting. The Apps mandrel is completely different. It’s blunt and short and requires twisting. It’s very hard to control how much the reed is affected. With the Pipers Ultimate Reed Poker has a completely different design: a round, tapered tip which allows you to perfectly control the amount you poke the reed. It’s totally intuitive and easy to use.
