Introducing the BandSpec Reed Protector PLUS

The 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 Control

Proper 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 Features

The 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.
