While not a full drying system, this added layer of moisture management supports tone stability and reed longevity.Simple Fitting: Just hemp and fit directly into your drone stocks. No tubing, no messing about, quick, clean, and reversible.Compact and Case Friendly: Unlike larger moisture control systems, the BandSpec is lightweight and takes up minimal space in the bag.
