Subj: [kl] Fast reed-dampening techniques?
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 04:00:54 -0500

At gigs where sax is my main instrument, and clarinet the infrequent double,
I don't have time to take the clarinet reed off and soak it,

.... and have had some squeaky starts.

Saliva licked onto the reed while still on the mouthpiece isn't enough.

I've thought about wrapping a damp cloth around the mouthpiece (
turban-style)
instead of a reedcap, but never tried it yet.

Any suggestions on how to overcome the problem?
