Description
Content51.5" SeatRoss Suede-Feel Zipper Pipe Bag with Canister System   The Ross bag has a suede-like, red exterior that offers some grip and makes the Ross bag more like a hyprid hide/synthetic pipe bag, with vibrance and harmonics to rival a sheepskin bag. The bag requires no seasoning and is virtually maintenance free; plus it's more hygienic and has a longer lifespan than most hide bags. Installation is easier than ever, with hoses that fit into the base of the stock with a simple twist. The system or any of its parts can be removed quickly, and hoses can be taken out for regular cleaning.  An extra canister is supplied, so you'll always have a dry canister at hand. Canisters contain specific chambers for the chanter and each drone, so you can regulate moisture to all reeds by adjusting the amount of drying agent in the chambers or by turning the colored tabs on the output lid, opening or closing the moist air inlet holes. The Ross system gives you the opportunity to make fine adjustments, so you can have a system that best suits your playing style. Watch our step-by-step installation videos for helpful tips and tricks:
Features of the Ross Suede-Feel Bag with Canister System:
  • Red, suede-feel exterior offers helpful friction
  • Reliable synthetic material (no seasoning)
  • Smooth seams
  • Angled zipper positioning for convenience
  • T-zip, easy-pull zipper access
  • Moisture control to all 4 reeds
  • Ross logo and size printed in gold
  • Detailed installation instructions with pictures
  • 2 canisters
  • 1 chanter hose, 3 drone hoses
  • 1 clamp and 1 sleeve for chanter stock
  • Available in 5 Sizes (Extended Small is most popular)
  • 2 year warranty on the bag (so keep receipt)
Tips for Using the Canister System:
  • Adjust moisture level by removing or adding drying agent to any chamber
  • Remember, your chanter reed needs some moisture
  • Drier blowers can use without the chanter hose
  • Sieve the granules regularly to eliminate smallest particles
  • Vacuum out system and rinse hoses periodically to remove dust
  • Dry the granules after each use for maximum effectiveness
  • Drying agent can be put in the microwave on  plate, but the canister does not go in the microwave
  • A proper setup results in little restriction of airflow
Installation Tips: If you use the clamp and sleeve to attach the chanter stock instead of trying it in, make sure not to overtighten the clamp, as that may damage a wood stock. Note: Because the Ross Canister System has extra components, pipes fitted with the system may require a roomier pipe case.
Naill Polyenco Band Pipe Chanter
Naill's Poly Band Chanter is a version of Naill's Poly Chanter, redesigned specifically for pipe band use. The Poly chanter was rebalanced with expert input from Simon Fraser University Pipe Band's Terry and Jack Lee. The result is a louder chanter with a slightly higher pitch than the solo Poly version. Naill chanters are made in England by David Naill & Co.
Shepherd Polypenco "Orchestral" Pipe Chanter
The Shepherd Orchestral Pipe Chanter is pitched at 466 Hz, concert pitch Bb. This is the older traditional pitch of the bagpipe. The lower pitched chanter allows the bagpipe to be played with other instruments in the key of Bb. The orchestral chanter has been on the market since 2006. You may need drone reed extenders or low-pitch drone reeds to bring the drones in line with the chanter.
RedWood Drone Reeds
RedWood reeds get their color from Padouk wood. The carbon fiber bass tongue and glass fiber tenors produce a bass-forward sound with well balanced tenor drones. Normal moisture issues will be well managed by the absorbent natural bodies, and the carbon fiber bass tongue should help with stability in wet conditions. Made in France.
Features of RedWood Drone Reeds:
  • Padouk wood body
  • Glass fiber tenor tongues
  • Carbon fiber bass tongue
  • Flat rubber bridles
  • Metal pitch adjusters
Shepherd African Blackwood Pipe Chanter
Shepherd chanters have an established history with award-winning bands and solo pipers.  This is the classic version of the Shepherd Blackwood pipe chanter.  Shepherd chanters are made in Scotland by RT Shepherd and Son.
