One is a cup-like "stock" that get's tied-in or clamped to the neck of your pipe bag. The "spigot" piece threads into the top of the digital chanter (where you can thread the mouthpiece in) and secures into the "stock" piece. You can then easily put your digital chanter in and take it out. If you want to be able to change between your digital chanter and a standard pipe chanter, you will also need the Blair Split Stock.

With the traditional chanter, you'll have regular Highland pipes. When you add the Blair Adapter and Blair chanter (and cork the drones), " you'll have the look of pipes and you'll inflate the bag, but you'll have the versatility of the digital chanter.

The Fagerstrom support bar helps to stabilize the pipes against your chest. The support clips snugly over the top of the pipes and should be removed after each playing session.

The Blair Ergo Pipe Bag adds comfort and control to your digital chanter. The package has everything you need to plug your chanter in and play. The adapter is pre-installed, and it comes with an embroidered bag cover. The high-performance memory foam cushion has the feel of an inflated pipie bag, but never needs (or loses) air. It really stabilizes the instrument and makes you feel like you're playing a traditional smallpipe. And it looks neat to an audience, too. Combine this with the separate Blair pedal, for a stage ready setup.
