Fine Gang up on me!

I disconnected the hose a week before Costa MEsa. Reed gets more moisture now for sure. I did notice the top hand not climbing in pitch, but don't know if that was just because we had some cool weather.

Another thought, Would it be better to empty the Canister in the chanter portion and leave th ehose connected? This would kind of act as a water trap but still allow moist air through?

Probably a good idea. I just pulled the hose on mine last year when it was so dry and dusty you couldn't spit. I have had no problem since so I decided to let well enough alone.
