Pipe Bags

Prices
Shepherd Tone Enhancers
Made by R.T. Shepherd & Son, these devices fit in the drone stocks (a zipper bag is recommended). They restrict and diffuse the airflow to the drones, and their dessicant filling absorbs moisture. The result is easier blowing and steadier sound (at the expense of some drone volume), and easier starts and stops.

$32.00 / set
Bannatyne Hide Zipper Bag
Designed and manufactured by Separation Filter Media of West Lothian, Scotland. This is a two-layered bag - a high-quality synthetic inside layer bonded to a leather external layer. This gives the bag the classic weight and heft of a hide bag with the low maintenance and reliability of synthetic bags. A TI-Zip zipper is included on the side for easy access to the internal water retention sleeve (water trap), and for allowing the bag to dry out between sessions. The water retention sleeve is a long tube-like sponge that attaches to the bottom of your existing blowpipe stock, and presents no airflow obstruction. An O-Ring and Hose Clamp are included for installation of the chanter stock. Electrical "splicing tape" can be used for the drone and blowpipe stocks. Please specify Small, Medium, or Large size.

$220.00 each

Pipe Bag Size
Bannatyne Synthetic Zipper Pipe Bag
Made by Separation Filter Media in Scotland, this bag is similar to the popular Canmore bag, but with a more ergonomic shape - the same as the Bannatyne hide/zipper bag. A zipper for easy internal access is optional (add $20). Zero maintenance, easy installation, perfectly airtight. Specify Small, Medium, or Large size.
NOTE: Water Retention Sleeve is included with the zipper bag.

Elkskin Pipe Bag, Made by L&M Highlander Outfitter's from Canada Specify size Small, Medium and Large. Each order includes spool of tie-in cord and piece of 1.5 x 10.0 inch leather for your wedge of the chanter stock tie-in.

I highly recommend using Air Tight Pipe Bag Seasoning for most Sheepskin and Elk Hide Bags. Acts as a sealant and absorbs moisture, A can is good for up to 3 to 4 applicants.
