Re: Wetting the reed

Well, soaking a reed in a bottle one finds that it floats so not all of it sits in the water. I begin the process by dunking the butt for a moment and then letting the reed sit vamp down for 2 to 5 minutes before playing. My reeds have been lasting FOREVER with this routine.

Dear Kilo,

Also one may miss out on a LOT in life looking merely for quantifyable answers. I have found more satisfaction, louder volume and more compliments from peers consistantly with some ligatures over others. There are no numbers....just results.
