Shepherd Tone Enhancers

Works as advertised - helps regulate the air to the drones. I can feel a difference with these installed, however my instructor gave me a set when I was young so in reality I noticed NOT having them in. Happy with the purchase. I had to get creative with a bar of bees wax and hemp to get them to stay in,. perhaps something to keep in mind.

I have always been a wet blower. Been piping about 19 years now, compete in grade 2 EUSPBA. I have been using the Ross canister in order to play more than just 1/2 hour / day. Tube and bottle traps by themselves do not stop moisture from condensing on my drone reeds. I decided to try these in order to lighten up my set-up. The chemical balls shipped with the enhancers do not stop moisture on my drone reeds. However, by exchanging the chemical balls for the clay found in the Ross canister, allies me to play about 2 hours without moisture issues. I have to dry the clay in the micro wave often, but at least it works. These items work for me in this process. I Am now using these in 2 sets of pipes.

These helped my blowing and lightened up my bag from the Ross Canister system which worked well for me. But I needed to shed the weight and my drone reeds have stayed dry. I recommend!

I have several pipers who struggle with howling drones and wheezing cut offs and striking in. After trying several other products, in desperation I got a set of these and to my delight, they worked straight out of the package (with a little waxed hemp and a strong right arm). I have them in three of my own pipe sets, including my 1956 Lawries, which have been temperamental as a teenager until these went in. I’m very impressed, and highly recommend them if your technique is a little suspect. They do need the desiccant changed annually, but they work very well.
