If you were putting together a small but comprehensive maintenance kit for your pipes, that you would keep in your pipecase, for on the road upkeep as it were ,what would you put in it ?
or if you already have such a kit as I,m sure some of the more experienced pipers have ,whats in it?

Waxed thread, unwaxed thread, Xacto knife, small pliers/pincers, beeswax, 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper, spare reeds.

and those 7 items surely become six if you fly! after all, you know how the tsa feels about waxed thread
meir
I forgot about you freakwent flyers.

All of the above, plus a tube or two of cane, staples, a spare pack of cigarettes and some C-4 in the event I can’t get things fixed.
Don’t tempt me!
djm
i see that right there as a good excuse to get a case. i want C-4!

I would put Andreas Rogge in it and to keep him company Alan Burton.

Where can I get one of these kits?
Hemp, beeswax, cotton thread, small pliers, small leatherman (no, not a man in leather, ahem!), spare chanter reed and Evangeline Lily.
How about a spare full set?
My pipes do not go anywhere that my Leatherman Blast can’t follow.
maybe i am blind, but did anyone say plumber’s tape (or whatever tape you happen to like?)
Oh, geez! Good point, Meir. A roll of surgical tape and a wad of blue tac for emergencies.
djm
… you know, C-4 can be used in place of blue tac.
What no Black Insulation tape for tuning holes?
Or is that just a GHB thing

The surgical tape leaves less residue on the chanter than the black electrical stuff.

Don,t forget elastic bands in case a spring goes on one of your keys
