ZIPPED CANISTER BAG
.
       
. The bag has been designed with
dedicated piper's requirements in mind.
The control over moisture, stability of
tone, longevity of reeds, comfort and
hygiene is unequalled, as can be verified by pipers of all standards throughout the world. The basic concept of the breathable canister bag system, is that the air must pass through the canister filled with drying granules prior to reaching the reeds. This canister system, combined with the breathable bag, offers pipers the best available means of controlling moisture, which means much greater stability of tone and longevity of reeds.
.
The canister, which is the major part of the entire system, is accessible via the air-tight zip fitted along the bottom seam of the bag. A reserve canister is supplied with each bag for quick change over situations. This can be done quickly by unzipping the bag, and exchanging the used canister with the spare, then rezipping the bag and continuing on with your playing.The granules are reusable indefinitely, by drying them out in a microwave oven for a few minutes. Through the use of the zip, the bag can also be left open to dry out after long sessions of playing and particularly playing in cold and/or damp conditions.
.
Now used as part of the Ross Canister Bag, the air-tight zip makes the task of opening and sealing the bag as simple and convenient as it can get. The zip is a totally tried and tested product for over 40 years now. They are used extensively in very testing conditions, where the demands are very much greater than in bagpipe bags, so one can rest assured that we are using a highly reliable zip which IS Absolutely air-tight. The Zipped Bags are available in 3 sizes, small, medium or large, and also can be made to measure for those pipers wanting a specific size.
