Usually you have to use a custom made reed for every different set of small pipes.
Try this site I found

Are your reeds gurgling when they get wet or are they just dying?
I'm working on a new practice chanter reed that doesn't gurgle when it gets wet. So far so good.
I may branch out into cane practice chanter reeds small pipe reeds if I get good reviews on the PC reed. They haven't even been given out for testing yet so Allen Reeds won't be on the market for a bit.
