The Moose Chanter/Blowpipe Canister can be connected to either the chanter stock, as a canister, or the blowpipe stock as a tube trap.
Both options offer a variety of choices in which way the piper wishes to run their bagpipe set-up. The canister has a dial to allow moist air from the bag to enter direct to the chanter reed as well as going through the desiccant in the canister. The dial can be moved easily from the outside of the bag to either shut off moisture or open up for more moisture. The canister has a small filter to protect the chanter reed from any dust particals. The amount of desiccant in this canister can be altered to suit as required or the desiccant can be replaced with a chamois (not supplied) if using as a tube trap from the blowpipe stock.
Both Moose Canisters can be easily removed at the tubes and have an easy removable lid for access. As the canisters are small and round in shape there is no need to ensure that they are level inside the pipe bag.

Trap Dri moisture control trap
by G1 Reeds
The Trap Dri moisture control trap has been developed to prevent excess water escaping from your water trap and saturating your pipe bag by capturing and retaining moisture in the tube to be emptied. A revolution in moisture control.
The Trap Dri unit is fitted to your existing water trap tube and does not require a zip bag as it can slip through almost any split stock.
(Currently supports the standard tube with external diameter of appx 20 – 23mm used by majority of pipers or tube with internal diameter of 19mm, we will adapt this to fit any tube size or system soon, Full bottle trap set up’s available in shop for synthetic zip bags now).
With Trap Dri installed you will obtain a vastly reduced level of moisture into your bag.
Designed to be so unrestrictive to airflow you won’t even know it’s there and enhance your playing experience.
The trap works by collecting water which condenses inside your water trap tube and locks it inside the Trap Dri. Using a unique combination of air pressure and water flow to draw the water into the Trap Dri unit the water then becomes trapped and can’t make its way to the end of your tube where it can escape through the holes, resulting in better bagpipe performance.
Using Trap Dri will prolong the life of your sheepskin or other animal skin bag by drastically reducing the amount of water your bag has to absorb.
Using the Trap Dri in a synthetic bag by adapting it to fit your current system will greatly enhance the effectiveness of any existing moisture control by locking water away and preventing it running up the tube and soaking your moisture control system.
In either animal skin or synthetic bag you will obtain a steady balance of moisture meaning your pipes will remain in tune longer and can be played longer than before. “Spend your time practicing tunes, not tuning”.
The Trap Dri is virtually maintenance free. Simply remove every few weeks to clean.
Give your pipes the treatment they deserve by installing this revolutionary new trap which never loses its effectiveness during use.

Highland Reeds Moisture Tube
Fitting your bagpipe with a water trap is absolutely essential to reduce the amount of moisture getting to your reeds. It also reflexes your hot, moist breath to the back of the bag and away from your reeds. The Moisture Tube has been specifically designed as an effective, lightweight, moisture control system that works without the use of silica gels.
It is made up of a lightweight flexible tube connected to a compression cartridge. Warm, mouth-blown air flows through the tube and when passing through the cartridge it is compressed, causing the warm air to cool and humidify within the cylinder. The cartridge is fitted with a breathable cloth which can help with the air compression and to absorb excess moisture. The system is very easy to remove and fit. It is easily dismantled allowing for speedy and efficient cleaning.
This new product allows for adjustments to how much restriction you want or need.
