How odd. I have never had a reed mold before. After I play, I dry off
the excess saliva with my lips. Then I just put the reed in my Vito reed
case. Also, it might help if they didn't have any food in their mouth
(or before) when they play. =)
Regards.
(I was going to buy a Vandoren case yesterday. Maybe not if its dark,
warm, and moist--the ideal home for molds.)
