Glen drones can be a little reed picky. Conclusion: Overtone (Ackland) 466 reeds, and therefore Overtone (Ackland) 440 and 480 reeds also because reed length is the only difference, work great in D. Glen drones. Here&#8217;s a 30 minute practice session. I think I&#8217;ll leave them in. I&#8217;ve left the entire practice session intact for transparency; I think I made a goof in every selection anyway. You get to hear me tune too, muahahahahahahahahhaha.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/whole_session.mp3\">Whole Session<\/a><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-4368-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/whole_session.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/whole_session.mp3\">http:\/\/www.patrickmclaurin.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/whole_session.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric E.
