Bagpipe Hemp Compressor Set
Bagpipe Hemp Compressor Set
We can not recommend these enough. They are absolutely game changing for hemping the pipes up. We have started using them on all pipes that come for a rehemp and on our own pipes, and the difference has been fantastic! There is no need to add hemp after playing them for a week, and no uneven hemping.
A product every single piper of all levels should consider.
From the maker:
I created these Bagpipe Hemp Compressors due to my own struggles to achieve a good hemping result. As an older piper, I needed something that required very little strength, hence why I recommend to only use a light compression as that is all that is needed to achieve optimal compression facilitating easier playability and maintenance of your bagpipes. Works well to create a smooth even surface and remove air pockets.
You may ask "why do I need these?", well, quite simply, you don't! They are just a handy and convenient tool to have in your pipebag.
Easy to use anywhere, great for those last minute hemp edits, at home, at band or on the field!
Made from a quality and durable plastic with some ability to flex under pressure, however I recommend to start with a light pressure and gradually increase as needed turning and lightly squeezing as you go. The compression can be more than expected so please be cautious with fragile pipes.
Three sizes provided in each set.
“These devices are well made and the best thing to come along for producing a quality hemping job that you didn’t know you needed”. (Gary Gifford, Reed Wrangler)
