Remember when Alan promised a free reed to anyone who could identify items in the background of a photo. Well, I did. 
That is how I have looked since I got my new reed yesterday. I plugged it into both of my Roberts chanters and it plays easily, spot on tuning in both octaves and a very nice hard D and E. Did I mention that I’m happy. The guy is in my book under the heading REED GOD. If he can do this kind of work with the stress of a new baby, just think what he could do if he slept all night. He sent me a note saying that this reed wasn’t the best he had done. I think if I lived by him, I would be going through his rubbish bin looking for his throw aways.
Alan- Northern Utah is a very nice place to move a young family and is quickly becoming a hotbed of piping. It is only a few hundred miles to somewhere from here. 
Thanks again!
