Pain in my jaw!
⚡ The Short Version
TMJ disorder can develop from playing bagpipes if the mouthpiece requires excessive jaw opening. An oval or rectangular mouthpiece alternative reduces jaw strain by requiring less mouth opening.
Simple equipment modifications can solve the problem and allow you to continue playing. A rubber mouthpiece that slides over the standard round mouthpiece effectively reduces pressure on the jaw joint.
