BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater Set with Airtight ContainerThe BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater Set is a complete solution for safely reconditioning dried 75% or 84% two-way humidity packs used with bagpipe chanter reeds.This set includes both the BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater and a suitable airtight container. This gives you everything you need to recondition dried humidity packs in a controlled and gentle way.Two-way humidity packs are ideal for helping to keep bagpipe chanter reeds in a stable moisture environment. Over time, however, these packs can dry out. Many players either throw them away too early or add water directly to the pack. This can over-saturate the pack and may cause reeds to become too wet.With the BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater Set, the humidity pack stays safely above the water. Simply add a small amount of clean water to the airtight container, place the Floater on the water, then place the dried humidity pack on top of the Floater. The pack must not touch the water.Once the container is sealed, moisture slowly rises through the holes in the Floater and is absorbed by the humidity pack. This is a slow, gentle process and can take several hours to a few days, depending on the condition of the pack.We recommend keeping a few spare humidity packs ready, so one pack can be used while another is being reconditioned.FeaturesComplete set with BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater and airtight containerDesigned for reconditioning dried two-way humidity packsSuitable for 75% and 84% humidity packsKeeps the humidity pack safely above the waterPrevents direct contact between water and packReduces the risk of over-saturating the humidity packSimple, clean, reusable and easy to useIdeal for players using Reed Protectors, Chanter Reed Boxes or reed storage systemsHow to useAdd a shallow layer of clean water to the airtight container.Place the BandSpec Floater on the water.Place the dried humidity pack on top of the Floater.Close the container securely.Wait until the pack feels soft and full again.Important: The humidity pack must not touch the water.

The newly developed ROSSA plastic small pipe chanter reed is the perfect solution for players of Fred Morrison Smallpipes or McCallum Smallpipes in A.We worked closely with Mario Rossa in Germany to create a reed specifically for these smallpipes, which until now were only supplied with cane reeds. Cane reeds are beautiful, but highly sensitive to moisture, a major challenge with mouth-blown smallpipes. If a cane reed absorbs too much moisture, it can quickly deteriorate, affecting sound and tuning, and causing ongoing replacement costs.The ROSSA plastic reed solves this problem. It delivers a stable, reliable tone, even with extended playing, and holds up perfectly in changing environments. No more ruined reeds, no more constant adjustments.Key benefits:Stable tone, not affected by moistureLong-lasting, highly durableExcellent sound quality with good volumeDesigned specifically for Fred Morrison and McCallum smallpipe chanters in A (both use the same reed)Supplied in a sturdy transport and storage containerPlease note: McCallum manufactures the Fred Morrison Smallpipes, and both chanters are identical in design and reed requirements. The only difference is the material, the McCallum’s standard smallpipe chanter is made of plastic, Fred Morrison’s is Blackwood, but both use this reed.If you want a dependable, great-sounding reed for your smallpipes, the ROSSA plastic reed is exactly what you need.

Set de brosses de nettoyage pour cornemuses BandSpec Split-BrushLe set de brosses de nettoyage pour cornemuse BandSpec Split-Brush est composé de deux types de brosses permettant de nettoyer et de sécher les bourdons de votre cornemuse. 

Les brosses de nettoyage conventionnelles finissent souvent par voler autour de votre étui de cornemuse, prenant de la place et collectant la saleté et la poussière... ce qui n'est pas idéal lorsque vous utilisez les brosses pour nettoyer vos bourdons. Le set de brosses divisées est soigneusement emballé et protégé dans le tube d'emballage, ce qui permet de garder les brosses propres lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées.Gagnez de l'espace 
La conception unique des brosses en deux parties permet de gagner de la place et de les ranger soigneusement dans votre étui de cornemuse ou votre boîte d'accessoires.Jeu de brosses 2 en 1 
Le set se compose de deux types de brosses de nettoyage. En nylon et en laine. La brosse en nylon est idéale pour enlever la saleté et la poussière des bourdons. Contrairement aux brosses en nylon dur qui peuvent potentiellement endommager vos bourdons, les brosses en nylon BandSpec sont semi-douces et idéales pour ce travail. Les brosses en laine sont parfaites pour éliminer l'humidité des drones ou peuvent être utilisées pour appliquer de l'huile de forage.Dimensionnement 
Deux tailles de chaque type de brosse sont incluses. La plus petite des brosses est utilisée pour nettoyer les bourdons ténor et la partie inférieure de votre bourdon basse. Les brosses plus grandes sont idéales pour le nettoyage des joints de la partie supérieure de la basse à grande perce.

Introducing the BandSpec Reed Protector PLUSThe BandSpec Chanter Reed Protector PLUS is a versatile accessory for bagpipe players, offering both reed protection and optional humidity control.Its innovative design includes a top chamber equipped with a mechanical hygrometer, allowing users to monitor humidity levels if desired. We believe this is better as it does not require changing batteries and also we know that digital hygrometers tend to break down a lot.To use as a standard reed protector, simply omit the humidity pack and use the protector as usual. For those choosing to utilise humidity control, insert a humidity pack into the top chamber and seal it with the hygrometer. Aim for a humidity range of 80% to 84% for optimal performance. Regularly check the hygrometer readings to maintain desired humidity levels, and revive humidity packs as needed for consistent moisture control.Benefits of Humidity ControlProper humidity control ensures the longevity and performance of bagpipe chanter reeds. Keeping the chanter reed consistently moist allows the player to reduce the amount of time required for tuning up when getting ready to play, as the reed is already in optimal playing condition. This results in a more stable and reliable performance, with less need for adjustment during play. By maintaining a constant humidity level, the BandSpec Reed Protector PLUS helps prevent reed damage, mold growth, and warping, thereby extending the lifespan of your reeds.Additional FeaturesThe BandSpec Reed Protector PLUS also includes a mechanical hygrometer for precise humidity control, ensuring your reed is always at the perfect moisture level. This feature helps pipers achieve a consistent sound and reduces the break-in period for new reeds. Whether you are playing in different climates or geographic locations, the BandSpec Reed Protector PLUS maintains a stable environment for your reeds, providing the best possible sound quality and performance.Overall, the BandSpec Reed Protector PLUS is an essential tool for both beginner and advanced pipers, making the maintenance of your reeds easier and more effective, and ensuring that your bagpipes are always ready to play.

BandSpec BLUE Ear Plugs offer hearing protection when playing the highland bagpipes or Scottish snare drum.We all know the highland bagpipe is a loud instrument, that’s why we love it!The sound (noise volume) of a highland bagpipe is in excess of 100 decibels, the Scottish snare drum even louder at approx. 120 db. Listening to these instruments for a prolonged time without ear protection can be very harmful, depending on how long and how often you are exposed to them. Hearing protection is highly recommended and absolutely necessary if you want to protect your health and wellbeing.The BandSpec BLUE Ear Plugs provide ideal protection for highland bagpipe players and Scottish snare drummers alike. The BLUE Ear Plugs are a high quality, low cost alternative to ear plugs with acoustic filters. They reduce the noice by approx. 25db.The BLUE Ear Plugs are made of soft silicone and are very comfortable to wear. The conical shape offers a great fit for all sizes. We believe if they are comfortable to wear then you will want to wear them every time you play.In addition to comfort, ear plugs need to be practical and that’s why the BLUE Ear Plugs are supplied with a detachable hanging cord to avoid losing the earplugs when not in use. They come in a useful keyring storage container that can be attached to your pipe case or snare drum bag.Price for ear plugs, string and storage container.
