Two sets of printable smallpipe reeds. I did my best to make sure these are pretty much print, plug, and play with little to no of the usual bagpipe black magic. Ideas on how to improve consistency and reliability shamelessly taken from Bruce Hitching's excellent GHB drone reeds.
To make a drone reed, print one drone body and one drone pin.
Drone pins thread into the top of the drone bodies, and control the depth of the reed in the drone itself. There are two different drone pin files:
* Capped -- These have a slight cap on the top to help hold wrapped hemp
* Straight -- No cap on the top to hold wrapped hemp -- use these if the fit ends up being too tight, or if you just like them better
Drone bodies come in two types:
* Straight drone bodies are pretty much just tubes with holes in them. They use a little less material than the beveled drone bodies, and might fit slightly better in some narrow stocks.
* Beveled drone bodies have a slight widening above the sound hole, mo
