Ergo2 Digital Pipe Bag is a professional electronic pipe bag designed to integrate seamlessly with the Blair Digital Chanter, forming a complete digital bagpipe system.Engineered for performance, the Ergo2 features six professional audio outputs, USB C connectivity, automatic on off pressure sensing, a dedicated amplified headphone output, and a fully adjustable swivel stock. It is built to deliver reliability, control, and consistent sound quality for practice, rehearsal, recording, and live performance.Installation is straightforward. The digital chanter attaches via the mouthpiece port and connects using the integrated USB and audio connections. The system is firmware upgradable, allowing future feature enhancements.Ergonomic DesignThe body contour is shaped to replicate the natural indentation formed on a traditional pipe bag under arm pressure, enhanced with a sculpted ergonomic curve. This encourages the bag to sit at a slightly elevated angle, positioning the hands closer to the player’s centreline. The result is reduced physical strain, improved hand alignment, and more natural finger movement.Unlike traditional bags with extended blowpipes that can push the chanter further away from the body, the Ergo2 supports a closer and more balanced playing posture.Designed specifically for use with the Blair Digital Chanter, the Ergo2 provides a fully integrated plug and play digital bagpipe solution.Technical SpecificationsBody Material: Carbon fibre textured ABSNon slip arm and body grips x2Stock Material: Machined and anodised stainless steel with 360 degree XYZ rotationLED status indicators for power, arm sensor activation, and chargingDedicated headphone output with individual volume controlAudio OutputsSix audio outputs, three stereo3.5 mm stereo headphone output3.5 mm stereo line outputQuarter inch right mono outputQuarter inch left stereo outputConnectivityUSB C for MIDI interface, firmware updates, and chargingPowerRechargeable lithium batteryCharging via USB C portPressure SensorUnderarm momentary activation sensorPlease note: The Blair Digital Chanter is not included and must be purchased separately.

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.

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.
