This may be a great advantage if you nearly always play in the same place in
the same kind of ensemble. If your playing conditions change considerably
from day to day, the consistency of one reed (or its inconsistent reaction
to different environments) may be too limiting, and changing reeds regularly
defeats the baggie's purpose. >>

Not to mention the blue mold...

Never could figure out the baggie thing myself... Prefer to let the reeds
start drying as soon as possible after playing to extend their little lives.
(And to save them from slow, agonizing assimlation by that blue mold.)

That and I wash the mouthpiece now and then. :)
