Great idea! My solution is to live in New Mexico.

| Hi all,
|
| My solution to the mildew problem is Alkiwipes - the alchohol 'wipes' you
| can buy at a drugstore for almost nothing, and which are ordinarily used
| prior to hypodermic injections, etc. A single wipe of the reeds and whatever
| case you keep them in keeps them mildew free for some time, and doesn't seem
| to have an adverse effect on the reeds. For those of you who teach, swabbing
| e.g. a student's reed and mouthpiece prior to checking it won't sterilize
| it, I'm sure, but it does confer a fair amount of protection. I always carry
| some Alkiwipes in my case,
|
