ESM1 Electronic Bagpipe ManometerIntroducing the world’s first electronic bagpipe manometer – the ESM1. This lightweight, drone-mounted pressure gauge shows you exactly how steady your blowing is by sending real-time bag pressure data wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet app.Unlike traditional water manometers or mechanical gauges, the ESM1 is compact, easy to fit, and incredibly simple to read. You keep your normal pipes and setup, but gain a powerful visual tool that makes practising more enjoyable and directly helps improve your blowing control.What It IsThe ESM1 is a small electronic pressure sensor designed specifically for bagpipes. It mounts securely on one of your drones (typically an outer tenor) using a lightweight strap. A short tube with a cork connects the unit to the inside of the drone, allowing it to read the pressure in your bag while you play – without getting in your way.The unit then sends live pressure data to the dedicated Bagpipe Manometer app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device.How It WorksSetup is quick and straightforward:Strap the ESM1 to your drone and insert the supplied cork into the drone top.Switch the unit on and connect it to the Bagpipe Manometer app via Bluetooth.Start playing and watch your bag pressure displayed on your phone or tablet.The app provides a clear, real-time visualisation of your blowing:Live pressure display while you play.Scrolling graph of pressure over time.Recording and playback of practice sessions.Minimum and maximum pressure values for each tune or session.Choice of a classic dial-style view or detailed graph view.Why Pipers Will Love ItCompared to a conventional manometer or pressure gauge, the ESM1 is:Much lighter – no water column, no bulky hardware hanging off your instrument.Easy to fit and remove – strap it on, plug in the cork, connect the app, and play.Far easier to see and understand – large, clear digital dials and graphs instead of tiny scales.More enjoyable to use – watching your steadiness improve on-screen makes practice more motivating.With its clear feedback and simple setup, the ESM1 turns the invisible skill of steady blowing into something you can see, measure and systematically improve. Better pressure control means better tone, more stable drones, cleaner attacks and cut-offs, and ultimately stronger overall performance.Key Features at a GlanceWorld’s first dedicated electronic bagpipe manometer.Lightweight sensor mounts directly to a drone and stays securely in place.Wireless connection to the Bagpipe Manometer app via Bluetooth.Compatible with iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android devices.Instant live pressure display plus real-time graphing and recording.Visualisation modes: dial-style meter or detailed graph.Helps pipers develop steady, controlled blowing for better tone and stability.Who It’s ForBeginners and learners who want clear, visual feedback on blowing steadiness.Solo competitors and band pipers focused on refining tone and control.Teachers and coaches looking for a simple way to show students exactly what their bag pressure is doing.The ESM1 Electronic Bagpipe Manometer is the modern, smart way to train one of the most important skills in piping – steady blowing – with a tiny sensor on your drones and a powerful app in your pocket.

BandSpec Next Generation WaterTrapAdvanced moisture control with fast drying performance and effortless maintenance.Moisture is the enemy of steady tone and reliable reeds. The BandSpec Next Generation WaterTrap is designed to keep your instrument performing at its best, using oven-regenerable silica gel canisters that can be dried as complete units.The system comes complete with two interchangeable canisters, allowing the player to alternate between them and always have a backup ready while the other regenerates.Each canister is made from high temperature PLA and fitted with heat-resistant magnets, making it safe to place directly in the oven at 80–100°C. There’s no need to remove or handle the silica gel.Engineered for free airflow, the WaterTrap introduces no noticeable blowing resistance, preserving the natural response of your instrument.It provides balanced moisture control, reducing excess condensation reaching chanter and drone reeds while maintaining enough humidity to support cane chanter reeds.An integrated reservoir captures initial moisture before air reaches the drying chamber, helping stabilise performance from the very start of your session.Maintenance is simple: remove the canister for regeneration, or detach the housing with a quick quarter turn to empty the reservoir when needed.

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.

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.

BandSpec REEDFiX, the ideal tool for reviving very weak and old reeds.If your chanter reed starts sounding squeeky, in particular on the tope hand, simply use the REEDFiX to "FiX" it.Before you decide to replace an old reed, try the REEDFiX first, it might save you money on the long run! The REEDFiX comes is supplied in a protective packaging. The price does not include a chanter reed.

BandSpec Bagpipe Chanter TapeChanter Tape is used for fine tuning the pipe chanter. Notes that are slightly sharp can be flattened by applying tape to the top of the hole. Our chanter tape has been specifically made for the bagpipe chanter.Unlike normal tape, the BandSpec chanter tape does not leave a sticky residue when removed. Colour: black. Size: 9 mm x 20 mGlenn Brown loves it! This is what he says about the BandSpec Chanter Tape:”I have been using this tape for the last 8 years now. It is without a doubt the best I’ve ever used. For me, the two best components of it are: the width and the stickiness. I love that it’s thinner in depth to other kinds of tape, so there is more room between holes, leaving space so as not to overlap (which can sometimes happen, especially on carved band chanters with bigger holes). The tape sticks well to blackwood and plastic and doesn’t leave any sticky residue after altering/adjusting several times. I prefer wrapping it around twice on itself, but works just as well with one layer.”

BandSpec BLUE Reed AbsorbIf you spend time playing on your practice chanter you will know that after around 10 minutes of playing your practice chanter reed will cut out due to excess moisture building up around the practice chanter blades. This can be very annoying and often enough you’ll end up waisting time constantly blowing the wet out of the reed, time much better spent practicing!Here’s a brilliant solution! The BandSpec BLUE Reed Absorb. Simply attach to the practice chanter reed and it will soak up the moisture that would normally build up around the practice chanter reed, enabling you to practice for much longer. It really is magic! See the Video Demonstration . Reusable! The aborbers come in a pack of 12 and are reusable. Simply allow to dry after playing and the BLUE Absorb will work just as good as when it was new. We recommend replacing the BandSpec BLUE Reed Absorber every 2-4 weeks to achieve maximum absorption efficiency.Price for one pack (12) of reed absorbers. Price does not include the practice chanter or chanter reed.
