Lets throw this out. There are some synthetic pipe reeds on the market i.e Clan Rye or Mclaren.

Most of the reveiws were saying they were OK, some not so.

Just wondering what the latest feelings are.

Any new Tech that goes against traditon has a lot of feelings to wade through. Poly-penco pipes, Kevlar Drum heads etc.

My self, I tried a Clan Rye - so/so nice for the durability but, the sound was OK for practice and just going out to the lake to scare the Geese.

What do you think
