I play with MG Drone Reeds right now,- and we might go for those in Borderland Pipe Band, as they have a great sound and are easy to play. They also have a 440 hz extention as an option, that can be added and removed easy. Not bad if you play jobs with brass bands or "real" instruments.
Right now we have 8 pipes up and running with Steady Drones Reeds from Bagpipes Galore in Edinburgh,- and they prove well. The come in two versions,- solo and band reeds.... lovely
