Does anything speak against a [bagpipe] chanter reed? Or are they completely unsuitable for oral, er, interaction? (I just see they're way cheaper, just for an experiment...)

(And, BTW, I'm a bit envious at you double reeders - y' get all the lyrical passages where we humble singlers have to play rearranged viola and violin riffs 'ahm-pu-pu-pu-ahm-pu-pu-pu' for 62 bars with an 'ahm-po-po-po' interlude at #37)
