The Beck Valve

The Beck Valve

The 'Beck Valve' was developed specifically for the Highland pipes. It is of the mushroom type, mounted on the base of blowpipe stock, using a tapered universal fitting that does away with the need for hemp.
The "Beck Valve" gives an excellent delivery of air, is not dependant on a back pressure for closure, eases blowing and keeps a constant controllable pressure on the reeds.
As the Beck Valve is not mounted on the blowpipe it's self then the blowpipe can take be bored out a little, again easing blowing.
