The Bagpipe Gauge is a revolutionary tool that quickly teaches you how to blow your pipes strong and steady. Guaranteed.

Steady bag pressure is the key to achieving a rich, harmonic, rock steady, precisely-tuned, world-class bagpipe sound — every top piper knows that great bagpipe tone begins with steady blowing.
The Bagpipe Gauge is easy to use and intuitive. It gives you precise, instant and continuous visual feedback. It’s also completely portable and takes just seconds to attach!

The Bagpipe Gauge will completely change the way you think about blowing your pipes. It gives you instant visual feedback, showing you the exact amount of pressure required to play your pipes and showing you exactly how steady you are keeping the pressure.

Simply plug the Bagpipe Gauge into one of your drones and attach the Bagpipe Gauge to your blowpipe. Strike up your pipes and watch the steadiness of your bag pressure. You’ll be amazed at your instant improvement. The pressure display on the Bagpipe Gauge is more accurate, has faster response, and gives more precise feedback than any other device available such as electronic tuners or homemade water manometer.

Beginners will learn to play the  pipes faster and with greater control. The added visual dimension of the Bagpipe Gauge will enhance and speed up learning progress as you build stamina and skills as you learn to listen to the steadiness of your tone.

Advanced players will be able to take your steadiness to even greater levels which will allow you to tune your instrument with greater precision.

“I have used the Bagpipe Gauge on some of my pupils and find it is surely the quickest way to get steady tone.”
— New Zealand Bagpipe Instructor

“The Bagpipe Gauge has been a life saver! I was so frustrated when I just didn’t understand what my teacher was telling me about steady pressure. It became crystal clear when I started using the bagpipe gauge. It has dramatically improved my bag pressure and reduced issues with tuning. Honestly, it has made for more pleasurable playing (for both me and the listener). In addition, it has allowed me to better understand what to listen for in both my chanter and drones. I feel (and my teacher agrees) it has lead to better balance and “tone.” I won’t say I’m world class by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve significantly improved and I “get” it now. That’s all I can ask for at my level.”

The Piper’s Ultimate Reed Poker is a must-have if you want to have a world-class bagpipe sound. It will bring your reeds back to life and save you hundreds of dollars that you’d otherwise spend on new reeds.

• Use the poker when your pipe chanter reed starts to get a little bit too easy, chirps, squeals, or starts to sound sharp and thin.
•As you play a new reed, it starts to break in, becoming easier and more efficient. But the cane can get too soft — this is when the reed poker is useful.
• A small adjustment (1/1000ths of an inch) to the metal staple inside the reed can bring a reed back to life, extend the playable life of the reed, and giving you a brighter, crisper, stronger and more stable sound.
• The only way to open up a reed from the inside is with a reed poker.
• It has a smooth point which allows you to precisely control just how much you want to open the reed.
• Easy to use and totally intuitive.
• Simply insert the poker a bit further to open up the reed a little bit more.
• Other blunt, square shaped pokers can get stuck or can damage the reed by twisting.

Here’s what one piper wrote about the The Piper’s Ultimate Reed Poker:

“Best. Reed. Poker. Yet. Out of about 20 reeds that were the “last to be picked” . . . it made four reeds I previously would have dismissed and turned them “very usable.” Two reeds that were “borderline” were quickly turned into “quite good.” It’s already paid for itself.”
