Practice Chanter Pakistani Parlor Pipes

Well... since I’ve ruined two chanter reeds trying to fix that screwy “D“ note. I’ve given up, so instead of trying to fix the note, I’ve decided to reduce the volume by bees-waxing the bottom part of the finger hole. I also did the same to the “F“ note because it was “broadcasting“ too loudly. Also my center tenor drone reed was going flat when I would pressure up the bag, which is the opposite of what the other tenor and the bass drone were doing, and even a couple of times the drone blade would stay open and create a huge air leak. So I filled in the groove built into the reed body right at the point where the reed was tuning at, flipped the reed and then re-tuned. I really need something better than the $ microphone I’m using because it is fairly tinny and doesn’t demonstrate the “roundness“ of the pipes.
