Split Stocks

This is a chanter arrangement for pipers who intend to interchange chanters in the same set of pipes. Normally changing chanters involves exposing the reeds, and this is when they can get damaged. With the split-stock arrangement the bag is fitted with a larger stock. Each chanter has its own removable stock which covers the reed and its always left in place unless you need to adjust the reed. This stock then fits into the larger stock in the bag. Thus, when you change chanters the reed is never exposed.

This does not change the outward appearance of the pipes. It is a neat design that makes changing chanters quick and trouble free, as it avoids any chance of damaging the reeds. It also makes it easier to stow the pipes in their box.. If required, split-stocks for drones can be fitted.
