Chris Apps reeds have worked well in the Gibson polys,at least they do in mine. Mostly plug and play. I also have a Naill poly and these reeds worked well in it also.

We play a number of these chanters in our organization (Windsor Police) and have used Gilmour chanter reeds in them for a good part of 3 years with good results.
