Piper's Pal Products

Moisture is critical to the performance of cane reeds.  Too much moisture results in mildew formation on the reed, while too little results in loose bindings, open sides, and split cane.

What is a piper to do?  Ideally, you would store your reeds under conditions that maintain enough moisture that they can be restores to playing condition quickly, but not moist enough to result in mildew.  That is what the Piper's Pal is designed to do.

Benefits:
1) Reeds will always be ready to play
2) Reeds will stabilize quickly and remain stable when installed in the bagpipe

3) New reeds will be played in quicker

4) mildew and mold on reeds will be minimized.

There are 4 types of Piper's Pals available:

1) Piper's Pal- The blue storage case will hold up to 4 reeds.

2) Piper's Pal Reed Protector- acts as a chanter cap and sits on top of your chanter to protect and humidify the reed.

3) Piper's Pal Alert Reed Protector- new for 2018.  An improvement on the original Piper's Pal Reed Protector with a visual indicator cap that tells you when you need to add water.
Also available in just an Alert Cap so you can upgrade your original Piper's Pal to the new Alert version.

4) Piper's Pal for Bands/Retailers- will hold up to 40 reeds.

Each version of the Piper's Pal also has its own Recharge Kit.  We recommend recharging your Piper's Pals annually.  Be sure to order the correct recharge kit to match the Piper's Pal that you have, as each one is different.
