From: AnneVacca@-----.com Subj: [kl] mold on reed cases Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 08:08:10 -0500
Hi-
I have a strange thing that happened to some of my reeds. I use Vandoren reed
cases and I had some of my reeds get moldy. But here is the strange thing- it
was only one case (of the five) and it was also brand new reeds that I was in
the process of breaking in.
Earlier, I had soaked the reed case in water with bleach, thoroughly dried it
out and put my new reeds inside. When I checked them (about a week later)
they were moldy.
Any ideas on why? How? What I did wrong?
