It's an unnecessary waste of money to discard reeds that, with a little work, will play perfectly well. Chris knows how to get them playing and if you come to a reed revival, he'll show you how to do it as well!

The reeds do not have to be Apps reeds and at no time will you be asked to name the maker. The purpose of the workshop is to learn to adjust your reeds so they play well for you. Progress at your own pace, with your own reeds. Will all reeds be saved? Maybe not. But the techniques you learn, will be with you for your entire piping career. 

I look forward to seeing you.
