Achieve Perfect Bagpipe Posture & Better Stamina with the Perfect Angle Blowpipe Positioner

The Short Version

The blowpipe is the one part of the bagpipe held entirely by your mouth. Because there's nothing else holding it in place, it constantly wants to pop or push out of the position that's actually right for you, which is why so many pipers end up clamping down with their teeth.
Clamping down to hold the blowpipe can wear down your teeth over time. I mention a top piper who visits the dentist every year to repair chips on my front teeth caused by biting the blowpipe, and deep grooves on most pipers' blowpipes tell the same story.
The Perfect Angle Blowpipe Positioner locks in your ideal angle at three attachment points. It mounts to the blowpipe stock plus both drone stocks, flexes naturally as you play, and always springs the blowpipe back to your perfect position, hidden under the bag cover.
