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.”

Set de brosses de nettoyage pour cornemuses BandSpec Split-BrushLe set de brosses de nettoyage pour cornemuse BandSpec Split-Brush est composé de deux types de brosses permettant de nettoyer et de sécher les bourdons de votre cornemuse. Les brosses de nettoyage conventionnelles finissent souvent par voler autour de votre étui de cornemuse, prenant de la place et collectant la saleté et la poussière... ce qui n'est pas idéal lorsque vous utilisez les brosses pour nettoyer vos bourdons. Le set de brosses divisées est soigneusement emballé et protégé dans le tube d'emballage, ce qui permet de garder les brosses propres lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées.Gagnez de l'espace La conception unique des brosses en deux parties permet de gagner de la place et de les ranger soigneusement dans votre étui de cornemuse ou votre boîte d'accessoires.Jeu de brosses 2 en 1 Le set se compose de deux types de brosses de nettoyage. En nylon et en laine. La brosse en nylon est idéale pour enlever la saleté et la poussière des bourdons. Contrairement aux brosses en nylon dur qui peuvent potentiellement endommager vos bourdons, les brosses en nylon BandSpec sont semi-douces et idéales pour ce travail. Les brosses en laine sont parfaites pour éliminer l'humidité des drones ou peuvent être utilisées pour appliquer de l'huile de forage.Dimensionnement Deux tailles de chaque type de brosse sont incluses. La plus petite des brosses est utilisée pour nettoyer les bourdons ténor et la partie inférieure de votre bourdon basse. Les brosses plus grandes sont idéales pour le nettoyage des joints de la partie supérieure de la basse à grande perce.
