Product information "50g Yellow Bagpipe Hemp, unwaxed"

Bagpipe Yellow Hemp (Unwaxed) - 50g

Our Bagpipe Yellow Hemp (Unwaxed), manufactured by the trusted producer Coats, is a versatile and high-quality product designed for bagpipe maintenance. Unlike waxed hemp, this unwaxed version allows for greater customization and is ideal for players who prefer to apply their own wax for precise control over the grip and seal.

Key Features:

  • Customizable: Perfect for pipers who wish to apply wax themselves, offering flexibility for adjustments and preferences.
  • Compatible with Beeswax: Works seamlessly with pure beeswax to create the desired grip and airtightness.
  • Longer Length: With approximately 360 meters per 50g roll, it provides more material compared to waxed hemp.
  • High-Quality Material: Produced by Coats, known for its premium yarns.

Waxed vs. Unwaxed Hemp: When to Use Unwaxed

The choice between waxed and unwaxed hemp depends on your preferences and needs:

  • Waxed Hemp: Pre-coated with wax for immediate use, ideal for quick maintenance and a consistent grip.
  • Unwaxed Hemp: Preferred by pipers who want more control over the application of wax. Adding pure beeswax allows for customized thickness and grip tailored to your specific requirements.

Technical Specifications:

  • Maker: Coats
  • Weight: 50g roll
  • Length: Approximately 360 meters
  • DTEX: 1380 (measuring unit for yarn; 1 gram per 10,000 meters)

How to Use:

Wrap the unwaxed hemp around the tenons, drones, or stock joints to create an initial layer. For a more secure grip, apply pure beeswax to the hemp during or after wrapping. This allows for precise adjustments to thickness and grip while ensuring an airtight seal.

Choose Bagpipe Yellow Hemp (Unwaxed) for a customizable and professional approach to bagpipe maintenance. With its longer length and flexibility, it’s the ideal choice for pipers looking to fine-tune their instrument to perfection.
