Important Product Note: All bagpipe water traps can develop mold and fungi with regular use if not cleaned and disinfected properly. This can lead to chronic inflammatory lung disease.

Does the job
Posted by Keith Roddey on 15th Dec 2021
I just went to my first hide bag after playing a synthetic for 10+ years and this was the moisture control system my pipe major recommended. I had used a Ross system for the past 10 years, which did a great job, had no complaints, but now going with a hide bag I had to get something that wouldn't get in the way of seasoning...and this one does. It's just that one tube connecting to the blow pipe stock and it's just a matter of removing the blowstick to dump out the liquid that accumulates, kinda like playing a horn and how they do it. No biggie...outside water the grass, inside find a garbage can or whatever, and just pour it out. I was amazed the first time (and I was playing for a while) how much liquid it captured (could of been quarter of a cup!) It does a great job (I've yet to find any moisture built up on my drone reeds). I did have to snip off about 1.5 inches of the hose for it to sit a little better in my large bag, but no biggie there either. It works well and I'd recommend it.

Asking the wrong person

I'm not a piper, I'm a drummer. We heard about the product from another person in the band & the general opinion was that it should work well. I can say all packaging was well done, all components appear to be of good quality & this is a present for my son who is a piper.
