sax(es). The sax doesen't sound as bad with plastic as the smaller reeds
do. I also have a water bottle to drink from all the time. Hope this
helps. >>

I played a job with a sax player who drank from a vodka bottle all the time.
(kept it right under his chair) It didn't seem to help his reeds or playing,
though. Ironically, it didn't hurt them either. He simply always sounded
like crap. Hmm...
