Duncan Soutar Cane Drone Reeds These are very nice cane drone reeds made by Duncan Soutar of St. Andrews. Though some may find that cane drone reeds are too much of a pain in the arse to set up and maintain, for Pipers who love the traditional sound of wood Pipes, there is no substitute for cane! This page will soon contain instructions for "Blowing-In" cane drone reeds.
