Anytime I come across a nice photo of pipes I always save it ,I sometimes do the same with reeds. Here are some photo’s of reeds that I have collected .Do you know who made them ?
reed #1
reed#2
reed#3
reed#4
reed#5
reed#6
reed#7
reed#8

Reed #8 looks like a Ben Koehler. He dates his reeds like that.
No.3 Leo Rowsome
No.6 Dave Daye
(90%)
Yes,the reed with the date on it (#7 the number is above the reed )is made by Mr koehler,it was in a Dave Williams chanter..
I wonder did the maker mean to have the bridle so low ?
Yes for the rowsome reeds ,No for your other guess.
RORY
Yes; Benedict prefers a low bridle (i.e. not a sliding bridle, but one that abuts the top of the wrap).

Possibly #6 is an Alan Burton, or an early early O’Brien. ( I recognize #4 and #5 but can’t place them…)
Reed #4 is Neil O’Grady. It’s a picture from his website.
Cheers,
Obviously some keen eye’s on the forum! Here’s the answers.
Reed#1 Alain Froment
reed#2 Dave Hegarty( in a crowley chanter)
Reed#3 Leo Rowsome
Reed#4 O,Grady
Reed#5 R’L O’Mealy(possibly)
Reed#6 Cillian O’Brien
Reed#7 B Keohler
