Soutar Emerald (The Green One) Pipe Reed

Our 2nd best selling reed. Soutar reeds just work. You put them in and they play. No break in period at all. Recommended for just about everyone, though maybe not for competition.

Emerald’s tend to be a little easier than the Black Aberdour version with similar sound characteristics. You can’t go wrong with either, so don’t overthink it.

Available in Very Easy to Medium strength.

Special note, Soutar reeds have an unfortunate reputation of being too easy and not lasting long. While this used to be true, they changed the design of the reed years ago and now they are lasting many months, with nice volume, and crisp clarity.
