Your bagpipe needs two kinds of air: dry air for the drones and humid, swampy air for the chanter. That separation is the whole game. Any moisture control system that actually works has to include an element attached directly to the drones, while letting moist air reach the cane chanter reed.
A tube trap is a catcher, not a filter. The tube-and-bottle catches spit, drool, and spray and diverts your breath to the back of the bag — but the humid air passes right through. Pair it with a desiccant canister system on the drones for real drying.
Desiccant only works when it's dry, so recharge it on a schedule. Dry silica gel or rocks in a 250-degree oven — never the microwave — then cool them and seal them in double bags immediately. Cook them before they're saturated, not after your pipes go haywire.
