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 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.
