A Closer Look at Uilleann Reeds

I am always fascinated by how versatile and wonderful the chanter reed is. To this day, I have not seen a video of a reed in action or what happens to the reed when jumping octaves. I have my theories... but working in a career as a scientist, I wanted to see it up close. Lets do a little experiment and see if we could.... um.... clear things up a little? I think things worked well! I thought I might share some clips so you could see too! Thanks for watching!
