Thread Name: Tech: Northumbrian drone reed adjustment
Subject: Tech: Northumbrian drone reed adjustment
I can't seem to find this in Leistman's book! I hae a set of Burleigh Northumbrian smallpipes.

I need to adjust my drone reeds - but don't know how to remove the drones from the stock. I don't want to yank them where there is another method, and besides I cannot seem to get a good grip on the standing part of the drone.

Am I being overcautious, or is there a special method?
If so, how do you get a firm grip on the standing part?

Any input would be of great help.
