Description

We offer you the popular winding yarn in the proven quality at a special price!

Black Hemp is popular with many pipers for extra non-slip wraps. Due to its impregnation, Black Hemp reacts less to moisture and does not swell as much.

With Black Waxed Bagpipe Hemp you connect the parts of the bagpipe airtight. In order for your bagpipe to have a nice and consistent sound, it is important that you maintain it at regular intervals. An essential part of this activity is the so-called “hanfen”, which is derived from the English verb “to hemp”. Through a special thread winding, the individual parts of your instrument must be properly connected so that they are both airtight and movable. In the following, you will learn everything you need to know about this topic.

If you don’t maintain your bagpipe regularly, it may eventually cause your instrument to stop working well. The consequences can be an unstable sound, sticking or unsightly cracking. Accordingly, regular maintenance of your instrument using bagpipe hemp is crucial. On the market are many different types of hemp in all kinds of colors. A classic is the Black Waxed Bagpipe Hemp – that is, the black waxed bagpipe hemp. It is available here in the Folk.World online store.

Black Waxed Hemp for Firm Fit

Basically, a distinction is made between waxed and unwaxed bagpipe hemp. Waxed hemp like the Black Waxed Bagpipe Hemp is needed when you want the windings of your instrument to have a tight fit with little slack. Because this yarn can not absorb water and therefore does not swell with moisture. This keeps the winding consistent – so you don’t have to worry about stresses.

Admittedly: To apply the hemp layers well and evenly, you need some time – but it is well invested, because afterwards you can be sure to get the best out of your instrument. When wrapping, always make sure that you apply the bagpipe hemp in parallel. Crossing the thread can get in the way of a consistent sound. The black, waxed bagpipe hemp is designed for all fixed parts, including the chanter, the chanter stick and the blowpipe. Before you start wrapping, you must of course free the parts from the existing bagpipe hemp. Then it can go to the application of the new yarn: Take the black waxed hemp in hand and form a loop, which you then pull tight. After that you can wrap the first layer. Make sure that you wrap the Black Waxed Bagpipe Hemp as tightly as possible and without overlapping before you add the second layer. Again, the threads should be as parallel to each other as possible.

High durability and tear resistant processing

If you’ve done everything right, Folk.World’s black waxed bagpipe hemp will give you a good foundation that can last for several years. Therefore, it should not be missing in your instrument case if you value a high-quality instrument winding. With black waxed hemp, your bagpipe will always be well cared for, as the material provides an airtight seal and some moisture control. In combination with an unwaxed bagpipe hemp you build the ideal basis for a stable sound without the risk of over-swelling.

No matter what method you use to maintain your bagpipe: If you make sure your bagpipe is well wound with high quality bagpipe hemp like Coats Black Waxed Bagpipe Hemp, you will benefit from more fun and better sound in the long run. The fine twine is so tear-resistant and durable that it can withstand even heavy loads. The more airtight and uniform your windings are, the less the sound and resonance will be swallowed. Therefore, make sure that you use the material correctly. The Black Waxed Bagpipe is the ideal bagpipe hemp for those who want to get the most out of their instrument.
