Premium Materials & Craftsmanship
- Wood: The drones are meticulously hand-turned from select-grade African Leadwood, showcasing a rich grain under a subtle, elegant combing and beading pattern.
- Mounting: Beautifully accented with Cocobolo mounts and drone bushes, paired with figured hard maple ferrules and top rings.
- Blowpipe: Features a custom-matched split stock with a removable Moose Valve for effortless cleaning, and is fully brass-lined to ensure lifetime protection against cracking.
Acoustic & Internal Design
Built using Morrill’s signature “Hybrid Design,” the bores are meticulously modeled after historical masterpieces:
- Bass Internals: Adapted from a classic 1909 Peter Henderson set.
- Tenor Internals: Modeled from a pre-1900 David Glen configuration.
This brilliant structural marriage delivers the ultimate tonal balance. The drones offer a seamless harmonic blend, locking in flawlessly with rock-solid stability. They are fully optimized to perform beautifully with any choice of modern synthetic or cane drone reeds.
