BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater, Pack of 5The BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater is a simple but effective accessory for safely reconditioning dried 75% or 84% two-way humidity packs used with bagpipe chanter reeds.Two-way humidity packs are ideal for helping to keep bagpipe chanter reeds in a stable moisture environment. Over time, however, the packs can dry out. Many players either throw them away too early or try to add water directly to the pack. This can over-saturate the pack and may cause reeds to become too wet.The BandSpec Humidity Pack Floater provides a safer and more controlled way to recondition dried humidity packs.Simply place a small amount of clean water in an 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 vapour slowly rises through the holes in the Floater and is absorbed by the humidity pack.This is a slow, gentle process. There is no need to rush it. We recommend keeping spare humidity packs ready, so one pack can be used while another is being reconditioned.The Floater itself is not designed to soak up water. Its purpose is to keep the humidity pack safely above the water while allowing moisture vapour to pass through.FeaturesPack of 5 BandSpec Humidity Pack FloatersDesigned for reconditioning dried two-way humidity packsSuitable for 75% and 84% humidity packsHelps prevent direct water contact with the packReduces the risk of over-saturating humidity packsIdeal for use with chanter reed boxes, reed protectors and reed storage systemsSimple, reusable and easy to useHow to useAdd a shallow layer of clean water to an airtight container.Place the BandSpec Floater on the water.Place the dried humidity pack on top of the Floater.Seal the container.Wait until the pack feels soft and plump again.Important: Do not let the humidity pack touch the water.

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.
