<< Hello everyone!
I have a couple questions. On this list someone
suggested putting orange peels in the clarinet case to
prevent cracking. How do you do this, or do you put
them in a plastic bag, do you dry them first? Also
does anyone know of any good books on making reeds?

Kelly......

Just put the peels in your case. Obviously, you DON'T want to dry them first.
The peels retain enough moisture in them to keep a nice level of humidity in
your case. When they dry up, put in new ones....

All that Vitamin C is healthy too, in this flu season....

Ummmmm....at the risk of being accused of self-promotion, I just completed a
book on making reeds by hand, since the old texts are all out of print...

See my web page.
