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.

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.
