The Tone Protector™ instantly improves your bagpipe sound.
Cane bagpipe reeds are very sensitive to moisture — from your breath and also from the humidity in the air where you keep your reed. The humidity in our surrounding environment is constantly changing. This changes the moisture content in the reed, which affects nearly every aspect of reed performance: pitch, volume, strength, efficiency, stability, sound clarity, and the tuning of individual notes. A reed that is too dry will sound shrill, sharp, and thin. A reed that is too wet will sound flat, muffled, and rough.
Keeping your reed at a precisely controlled, constant humidity level is the single easiest and most powerful thing you can do to immediately improve your bagpipe sound.
That's
exactly
what the Tone Protector does.
The Tone Protector's patent pending design keeps your reed at a constant humidity level to ensure consistent, optimal reed performance. The Tone Protector has been played at performances and competitions all over the world and the results have been incredible. Pipers from around the world in vastly different climate regions have tested the Tone Protector and the feedback has been incredible. Some pipers are even calling the Tone Protector "life changing"!
The Tone Protector has made a huge impact on the piping world in just a few months, with champion pipers winning top prizes around the world including:
Willie McCallum — MSR at Springbank Invitational
Bruce Gandy — Overall Champion at London
Iain Speirs — Gillies Cup Open Piobaireachd at London

Big prizes at Inverness, Oban, Braemar, Cowal, Blarigowrie, Pleasanton, Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, and many more...

In over 30 years of playing and teaching the pipes, I’ve learned that cane bagpipe reeds are very sensitive to moisture — not just from the moisture in your breath but also, and especially, from the humidity in the air where you keep your reed. The humidity in our surrounding environment is constantly changing.  This changes the moisture content in the reed, which affects nearly every aspect of reed performance: pitch, volume, strength, efficiency, stability, sound clarity, and the tuning of individual notes. A reed that is too dry will sound shrill, sharp, and thin. A reed that is too wet will sound flat, muffled, and rough. Keeping your reed at a constant humidity level is the single easiest and most powerful thing you can do to immediately improve your bagpipe sound. Over the last three years, I’ve come up with a patent pending design that keeps your reed at constant humidity level to ensure consistent, optimal reed performance.  I’ve tested the Tone Protector at performances and competitions all over the world and the results have totally blown away all of my highest expectations.
Each Tone Protector includes:
Dual-layer reed protector with two-way humidity control
Digital hygrometer and thermometer with large, easy-to-read LCD display
Extra large knurled locking thumb screw
Two pre-calibrated two-way humidity control packets that add or remove moisture as needed to maintain a precisely controlled, specifically-chosen humidity level.
What some of the world's top pipers are saying about the Tone Protector:
Just a quick note to let you know that I am loving The Tone Protector. My chanter seems way more stable than ever. Brilliant!
-Callum Beaumont Double Gold Medallist and Clasp Winner
I have been using The Tone Protector for several months and it is an excellent product. The Tone Protector stabilizes the reed, reduces the amount of time required to balance the notes on the chanter, and extends the life of the reed by eliminating mold build up. The range of colors available allow me to manage the range of chanters I play. I highly recommend the Tone Protector to pipers of all abilities.
-Pipe Sergeant Alastair Dunn Eleven-Time World Champion Field Marshall Montgomery Pipe Band
I love my Tone Protector. I used it this summer and was pleased with how much more stable my chanter was ‘out of the box’ than with a traditional reed protector — particularly after getting off an airplane! I was so impressed we have ordered them for the entire pipe corps.
-Pipe Major Alan Bevan Six-Time World Champion SFU Pipe Band
The Tone Protector has definitely helped to keep the reed in playing condition while I haven’t been playing it. It’s been great.
-Iain Speirs Winner of the Gillies Cup Open Piobaireachd, London 2017
The Tone Protector is working great. I used it in the lead up to the Springbank Invitational and it cut the warm up time of the reed down significantly which meant more time actual practice on the tunes.
-Gordon McReady
Living in the Canadian prairies, it has been a life-long challenge to maintain appropriate levels of moisture in the bagpipe to obtain a full, rich sound. The Tone Protector has been an instant winner in this environment, and I’ve found my solo pipes to almost not need tuning. They stay stable for long periods of time, and—best of all—they come out of the case pretty much ready to play. The response of my band setup to the Tone Protector has been equally impressive, and the two bands in our organization are looking forward to using these. The visual reading of humidity takes away all the guesswork.
-P/M Iain MacDonald City of Regina Pipe Band
The Tone Protector is the next major advancement in piping technology. It is, simply put, brilliant: it has made tuning and set up of my pipes nearly automatic and instantaneous. It is the product we have all been needing.
-J. David Hester, Founder of altpibroch.com
I love my Tone Protector! I live in Grand Junction, Colorado where it is very dry. The Tone Protector keeps my reeds consistent and ready to play when I’m at home and when I’m traveling to competitions. It really works!
