The Thumb Stop can help improve Birls, Taorluaths, B strikes and grace notes. By keeping the thumb of your right hand directly behind the middle finger, you will train your thumb to stay in position. Once the thumb is trained to stay in place, the Thumb Stop can be removed. It can be used on both Polypenco practice and pipe chanters. Caution:  We recommend that the Thumb Stops be used only on Polypenco (plastic) pipe and practice chanters, as they could damage wood chanters.

This tube of waterproof lubricant can be used on pipe bag zippers, like those on the Bannatyne, Canmore, and Ross pipe bags. It's important to keep these zippers lubricated so they function smoothly and seal properly. Apply the lubricant to the locking end of the zipper. Then slide the zipper back and forth to lubricate the teeth.

                  

With the Tone Protector reed cap, your pipe chanter reed is protected, humidified, and ready to play. The digital display on the Tone Protector shows temperature and humidity readings, allowing you to see the results and and know when to replace the 2-way humidification packet. Having a performance-ready reed saves time and adds peace of mind. To install the packet, squeeze the soft rubber body of the Tone Protector and remove the digital cap. Then, fold and wrap the 2-way packet in the interior channel. Packets will last longer in moist climates and when the pipes are played frequently. Designed by Jori Chisholm of Bagpipelessons.com.

Features of the Tone Protector:

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.

Note: A zippered pipe bag is required for installation.
