A WORD FROM THE CUSTOMERS

And...a word from the customers:

The pipes arrived in good order. I really love the tone, I was playing poly mouth blown ssp with plastic reeds, they were in tune, but the tone was lacking! I am impressed with the efficiency of the bellows, they are moderately sized yet supply ample power to the bag. The finger spacing is comfortable. I had to shorten the connecting pipe between the bellows and bag to fit my frame, but this was easy. Overall, these pipes are a great value and very well designed, the workmanship is top-notch with a tone to match. They played 10 cents flat of concert A440, but an hour of just playing them brought the pitch up to within 2 cents, (amazing!) Also, the drone switch is a wonderful feature, they facilitate tuning and can be used to great dramtic effect when playing ( I can turn my drones on and off with my chin whilst playing!) I could write pages about these pipes. Thanks for your patience throughout my wait.

Dealing with Reelpipes.com was a piper's dream. Straightforward information, quick response to queries, and very clear communication about the instruments. And the pipes are magnificent. Met my expectations in every way. They arrived a week ago, and I'll be using them in performance in another week. Killer sound, easy to play and a very very high standard of construction. What more could you want?

I am extremely pleased with the Fred Morrison Reel Chanter. It has a sweet sound, lovely overtones and I am looking forward to using it in concert.

It is a very nice looking chanter. Good craftsmanship. Well done. Makes me wish now that I had the whole set. My first impressions were excellent. The chanter pitch is right on. I am mostly pleased that the FM chanter is considerably more stable in pitch, especially the high hand notes in comparison to my other chanter. So as I say, my first impressions are all excellent. Thanks for everything. This has been an easy, no stress and very timely transaction. I'm really very pleased.  Please convey my regards and appreciation to the Morrisons as well. Cheers and good piping,

Fred Morrison reelpipes are the bomb! I am so glad I decided to order these pipes, I cannot seem to put them down. My 1870 Hendersons and uilleann pipes are being neglected. I'd like to thank Iain for the great service in getting them across the pond to me.

After a short adjustment period to the bellows technique I had a great time with Fred's pipes. They were easy to tune, steady and gave me a whole new perspective on how to create bagpipe music.

Fred Morrison and crew sent me a beautiful set of pipes with superior bellows and very nice chanter tone. Finally I have brought a "Highland-sounding" bagpipe to the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers that's in concert pitch and not quite so loud-- the rift between fiddlers and pipers has been mended.
