The Moisture Control Drone Systems for the Highland Bagpipe The Moisture Control Drone Systems for the Highland Bagpipe

New revised Moisture Control System MCS2 with flexible connector for drone stockand screw adjustable quick stop drone valve. Additionally the drone connector has been strengthened. All these new components are available to purchase separately and are fully interchangeable with the original MCS

The flexi-connector fits onto the bottom of your drone stock and the MCS2 attaches to this.







The Moisture Control System (MCS) has been designed and developed with you, the piper, in mind.
It offers the following benefits:

* KEEPS REEDS DIRIER SO YOU CAN PLAY LONGER
* NO TONAL CHANGE
* CONSITENCY OF AIR PRESSURE
* REMOVABLE QUICK STOP DRONE VALVE
* EASY TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN
* NON-BULKY, LIGHTWEIGHT SYSTEM


"Taking only seconds to remove and reinstall before and after each practice session or performance, this hassle free moisture control system has greatly increased my playing duration with no noticeable change in tonal quality or volume... definitely the lowest maintenance and steadiest bagpipe I've ever had!" - Robert Watt

QUICK STOP DRONE VALVE
The Quick Stop drone valve has been developed as an integral part of your MCS to assist with clean
starts and cut-offs. You can adjust the tension of the valve through the new screw feature.



"Since I've started using the Moisture Control System I've had no trouble with moisture on my reeds. The cartridges have proved easy to remove and replace and the whole system is much lighter than others I have tried... a bonus when playing long shows. All in all the best Moisture Control System going." - Aaron Shaw, Wicked Tinkers

CONNECTOR
A tight fit of the MCS is essential to optimise the benefits of the system and the flexi-connector
provides this. You can, if desired, insert the connectors directly into the drone stock. To do this, apply black hemp to the connectors and then insert into drone stocks.



CARTRIDGE
The gel filled cartridge section can now be fitted to the connector. The effective playing time of the
cartridge will vary according to how wet a blower you are.
