Love the advances in piping products. Gone are the days when you had to make your own blowpipe valve out of an old piece of leather and chew it to make it flexible enough and airtight.😄
I made an ebonite mouthpiece for my son's pipes, The thread was 37/64 x 30 TPI. He needed a shorter blowpipe to be comfortable. After seeing this I realize their are many options for adjustment.
hi, do you have a video on correct BP position/handling. Especially with the way to hold the mouthpiece (teeth vs just lips...) ?thks for the good technico-commercial material presented!
