The original, patented, award-winning Tone Protector™ from BagpipeLessons.com. Trusted by thousands of pipers around the world — from beginners to World Champions.
In over 30 years of playing and teaching the pipes, I’ve learned that cane bagpipe reeds are very sensitive to moisture — not just from the moisture in your breath but also, and especially, from the humidity in the air where you keep your reed.
The humidity in our surrounding environment is constantly changing. This changes the moisture content in the reed, which affects nearly every aspect of reed performance: pitch, volume, strength, efficiency, stability, sound clarity, and the tuning of individual notes.
A reed that is too dry will sound shrill, sharp, and thin. A reed that is too wet will sound flat, muffled, and rough.
Keeping your reed at a constant humidity level is the single easiest and most powerful thing you can do to immediately improve your bagpipe sound.
Over the last three years, I’ve come up with a patented design that keeps your reed at constant humidity level to ensure consistent, optimal reed performance. The Tone Protector has been played by pipers and pipe bands around the world and the results have totally blown away all of my highest expectations.
