Whether you’re leading into a set or finishing on a strong, clean stop, the BandSpec ensures your drones respond together, smoothly and reliably.Real Benefits:Confident Strike In: By regulating the airflow from inside the bag, the enhancers help all three drones come in evenly, reducing the risk of missed entries or weak starts. A real game changer for soloists and pipe band players alike.Controlled Cut Off: The enhancers also allow for a clean drone shut off without needing to deflate the bag drastically, helping you end your performance with precision and confidence.Moisture Control Built In: The built-in chamber includes active alumina beads, which absorb moisture during play without crumbling or heating up. While not a full drying system, this added layer of moisture management supports tone stability and reed longevity.Simple Fitting: Just hemp and fit directly into your drone stocks. No tubing, no messing about, quick, clean, and reversible.Compact and Case Friendly: Unlike larger moisture control systems, the BandSpec is lightweight and takes up minimal space in the bag.

BandSpec BLUE Ear Plugs offer hearing protection when playing the highland bagpipes or Scottish snare drum.We all know the highland bagpipe is a loud instrument, that’s why we love it!The sound (noise volume) of a highland bagpipe is in excess of 100 decibels, the Scottish snare drum even louder at approx. 120 db. Listening to these instruments for a prolonged time without ear protection can be very harmful, depending on how long and how often you are exposed to them.

They come in a useful keyring storage container that can be attached to your pipe case or snare drum bag.Price for ear plugs, string and storage container.

BandSpec Bagpipe Chanter TapeChanter Tape is used for fine tuning the pipe chanter. Notes that are slightly sharp can be flattened by applying tape to the top of the hole. Our chanter tape has been specifically made for the bagpipe chanter.Unlike normal tape, the BandSpec chanter tape does not leave a sticky residue when removed. Colour: black. Size: 9 mm x 20 mGlenn Brown loves it! This is what he says about the BandSpec Chanter Tape:”I have been using this tape for the last 8 years now. It is without a doubt the best I’ve ever used. For me, the two best components of it are: the width and the stickiness. I love that it’s thinner in depth to other kinds of tape, so there is more room between holes, leaving space so as not to overlap (which can sometimes happen, especially on carved band chanters with bigger holes). The tape sticks well to blackwood and plastic and doesn’t leave any sticky residue after altering/adjusting several times. I prefer wrapping it around twice on itself, but works just as well with one layer.”

BandSpec BLUE Reed AbsorbIf you spend time playing on your practice chanter you will know that after around 10 minutes of playing your practice chanter reed will cut out due to excess moisture building up around the practice chanter blades.
