Re: Are your reeds harder in the summer?

Please lets not forget that there is no perfect solution. Of course the environment you are playing in will affect the way a reed will respond, somewhat. All we humans can do is to keep them in as a perfect condition as possible. I always keep the cap on my MP when I’m not playing, even for long rests and I always keep my reeds in my freezer bag if I’m not playing. Even when I’m changing back and forth between bass and clarinet, I cap my MP at every opportunity. I never let them sit out in the opened air. That’s all one can do. The main thing is not to let the reed change drastically from one day or one minute to another when you actually have some control over it. ESP www.peabody.jhu.edu/457
