So I was asked to...

Well, I'm going to do it.

Thanks, guys!

You've got time yet to order an Abedour reed. They're super easy. Not the greatest tone on the top hand, but with the drones set to match the chanter reed pressure, you may be better off with it than without it for a one-time thing. Have your PM or instructor set up your drones for the soft reed if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

I just have a personal opinion that the pipes really sound "lacking" when the bass is gone. With the bass going, one more tenor doesn't make much of a difference.

Just my opinion and worth what you paid for it.

I know nothing about piping, but you have made the right decision. The decision not to play may cause more regret than any lack in playing skills.
