Patrick,

A lot of clarinetists (and single reed players in general) here use a
Tupperware food storage container, because it has a really tight seal--
and they put rock salt or a dessicant of some kind in with it, too. I'm
thinking about trying it, because my Selmer reed case sure isn't doing the
trick. Also, wetting your reeds every day will keep them from drying out.

Good luck to you!

Nicole
