Spares – 2 Cloths for Moisture Tube 2
The system can be used without the cloth, but a lot of condensation will be created by the air passing through the small holes in the cartridge and the condensation will collect in the bottom of the cartridge.
If the cloth is inserted in the bottom of the cartridge, this will help absorb most of the moisture.
The supplied cloth is breathable and can be moved and adjusted to cover the small holes in the cartridge. This applies another obstacle to your hot air and will create a lot more condensation taking moisture and heat out of the air before it enters the bag.
However, for some people this might be too restrictive and therefore you can adjust the cloth to cover all the holes, part of the holes or no holes, to get the desired balance between restriction and moisture removal.

Description
Fitting your bagpipe with a water trap is absolutely essential to reduce the amount of moisture getting to your reeds. It also reflexes your hot, moist breath to the back of the bag and away from your reeds.

Moisture Tube Instructions 2
Installing the Moisture Tube (MT2)
A tight fit of the MT2 is essential to optimize the benefits of the system. Do not separate the stock connector from the flexi-tube. To ensure a tight fit, apply waxed hemp to the stock connector and then insert it (complete with its flexi-tube) firmly into the bottom of the blowpipe stock. An easy way to do this is to remove the blow pipe itself and hemp the stock connector up to the outside end of the blowpipe stock. It may take some adjustment until you are satisfied with the connection. You are now ready to fit the cartridge section onto the flexi-tube.
If using a split stock install in the normal way.
Cartridge Section
The cartridge section is comprised of two parts – the cartridge itself and the cartridge connector. Push the cartridge onto the cartridge connector. These parts should be kept intact unless you wish to remove the cloth to dry. To remove the cartridge section from the cartridge connector, grasp the cartridge and gently twist apart from the cartridge connector.
Between playing times keep the stock connector and flexi-tube in place (as one piece) in your pipe bag and remove the cartridge section.
Cartridge/Cloth and Air Reductions
The system has a number of built in air reductions.
1. The smaller diameter bore through the cartridge connector.
2. The grill inserted into the end of the cartridge connector.
3. The series of small holes in the cartridge itself. These holes should always be facing upwards in your bag.

If the cloth is inserted in the bottom of the cartridge, this will help absorb the majority of the moisture.
The supplied cloth is breathable and can be moved and adjusted to cover the small holes in the cartridge.

However for some people this might be too restrictive and therefore you can adjust the cloth to cover all of the holes, part of the holes or no holes, to get the desired balance between restriction and moisture removal.
Drying the Cloth
An easy way to dry the system after playing and before placing into the pipe case is to remove the cartridge and either place it onto or near a heat source (e.g. a radiator or drying cupboard) or remove the cloth and dry it separately. The system is supplied with an additional piece of cloth. Spare cartridges and cloths can be purchased.
Stock Connector and Flexi-Tube
The stock connector and flexi-tube should be removed periodically for cleaning.
