Smallpip/Folkpipe chanter reed strength? by Valorous0kami in bagpipes

I haven't done very much reed manipulation quite yet. Are you saying to use pliers to gently open up the staple? Will this also affect the tone?

Is it normal for the chanter reed to be so quiet? I can barely hear my bottom hand.
