I had the B Chanter and wanted to upgrade to a B 1/2 set. It looks really nice… plays well too. The drone reeds he uses are different though.

Get some cane/elder/forsythia reeds in those drones and, er, Bob’s yer uncle. ![]()

Looks great Bob! More power to the B sets. I am loving mine, hardly touch my others lately.
Nice. Now just add regulators!
I’ve heard a few Rogge B sets: sweet.
As a Rogge “man”, I’d say: Don’t mess with success. His drones are superb (albeit with a “big” sound) and the ebony/composite reeds are low/no maintenance and bang on with starts & stops. I get more compliments on my drone sound that my playing (Hey…wait a sec)
Seriously nice looking set. Enjoy
Andreas Rogge uilleann pipes drone reeds is synthetic made from black plastic body with white plastic tongue.
Andreas drone reeds not made from ebony.
When I had my Rogge C snakewood set made Dec 2001 Andreas used all cane reed for tenor and cane with plastic tongue for baritone/bass.
