The stock style water trap fits in the bottom of the blowpipe stock. This water trap is made of cork, with a brass tube. It comes with some fabric abrasive to sand the cork to the desired dimensions to fit the internal bore of the blowpipe stock. This water trap will allow some moisture to still enter the pipe bag, but will collect most of the moisture before it enters the pipe bag.

The Tube style Water Trap attaches to the base of the blowpipe stock, and fits neatly into the pipe bag and allows the moisture to collect on the inside of the tube. This will still allow some moisture to get to the reeds, but not too much. To empty the trap, simply remove the blowpipe from the stock and tip upside-down. The moisture you have collected while playing should tip out.
