well... i figured out recently that the blowstick is stuck in its bore and i cant take him out.
i've tried realy hard but im afraid i might break it! even my teacher, who is much stronger and expirienced then me couldn't open it!
any suggestions here?
the bag is new (ross cannister) so i dont have to open it now, but its... healthier that way.

My guess is that moisture/saliva has soaked through the hemp holding the blowpipe into the stock and the hemp has expanded a bit. Lay off playing for a couple days and let the hemp dry out. The blowpipe should come free.

Paul is absolutely right. Take a break from playing your pipes for at least two days to let the hemp dry out. WHATEVER you do, DO NOT help the pipe and hemp to dry out by adding heat or placing it in an overly dry environment. Just let them sit out of the case in a temperate room and check on them in a couple of days. Good luck.

Whew!!! Things must be bad if I can't spell my own last name! :) Forgot a wee "C", thanks for deleting the old post Rob. Hey, it happens right? I mean, I've only had my name for...oh...nevermind, that's another depressing issue. lol
Bad day!
