Band : The Importance of Maintaining Your Instrument
Reeds
Good quality reeds are necessary for all single and double reed instruments. Reeds should be symmetrical in their cut, beige in color with little to no discoloration, and free of chips and cracks. Always protect reeds when not in use with a reed holder available from Jent’s.
Reeds should be soaked from tip to butt before they are played for two to three minutes. To soak them use an empty spice bottle or similar glass container. Never use film canisters or medicine bottles as the product leaches into the plastic.
