Shepherd Tone Enhancers
By preventing excess moisture from reaching the drones, Tone Enhancers help with the common problems of unsteady blowing and holding a constant tone. Each Tone Enhancer contains a small amount of desiccant to draw moisture from air leaving the pipe bag through the drones. Tone enhancers are easy to install and remove, and they require very little space.
Shepherd Tone Enhancers Allow for:
  • Efficient airflow
  • Improved tonal stability
  • Easier blowing
  • Better strike-ins and sharper cut-outs
  • Non-intrusive moisture control
  • Refill kit available separately
Note: A zippered pipe bag is required for installation.
