Subj: Re: [DR-L] reed cases - oboe

Gerald,
I soak my reeds on the subway on the way to rehearsals.
But, why do you want to store the reed in a humid environment?
Everything in my kitchen that gets stored in a humid environment grows
mold. Wouldn't the same thing happen to reeds? Why not let them dry out
and then resoak them when you want to play them?
