Well,
This was a nifty trick I picked up at Chaasa from a Bassoon player.. Any
music shop sells this water cup which clips to the stand. About five
minutes or so before were set to begin warming up I let it soak in there.
This works for me because I play on Bass clarinet, Contrabass and Alto
reeds, so it may or may not work for you.

Hope this helps,
D
