Good clip. Humbly I tell you all the good Drone reeds use to come tested and usually we do not need to move bridal...probably un some cases the screw...

In many cases, that is correct that the bridle does not need to be moved. In other cases, it’s good to understand when it’s useful to move the bridle.

@@KyleBantaMusic Yes, of course!, in some cases it is neccesary….for example if you use a very easy Chanter reed or hard…you will need to regulate the length of the tongues to addapt to Chanter reed. I do not use cane since at least 30 years with my old and passed away Galician bagpipes. At present I am very happy using synthetics drone reeds( Ezee , Selbie’s, MG McCallum).
Best wishes friend and thanks so much for your videos

Synthetics are easier by far to manage, that’s for sure. Appreciate your comments :)
