sfmans,

When I go to Google for a search I ask for exactly what I want. Google is a text oriented search and it seems to find things pretty quick.

I have a book on making Union Uillien(sp?) Pipes and it discusses making drone reeds out of plastic. I can search that book out of The Attic of No Return for you but it will take a day or two.

Dennis Havlena has a great site which I found by googling Making Home Made Instruments a few years ago. He discusses PVC bag pipes and making the reeds.

I find that Mudcat gets answers to questions remarkably quick. I ask for chords to songs frequently. As often because I don't know the chords as I ask to learn a different take on the chords. And because people here are more than willing to share songs, ideas, and opinions.
No friendlier place on the wire.
