 Re: Closing pores on new reeds.

I have heard of several of these techniques, but I've never used them because I was brought up to play on thoroughly soaked reeds. They end up that way anyway when you play on them.

However, I'll admit that some reeds are more porous than others. I've had V12's I could breathe through. They didn't play well for me.

EDIT: Actually I think 'soak' is the wrong word. I'm not talking baths of water here. I put the playing end in my mouth and give it a real good lick, the idea being to get the reed to playing consistency without playing it. The heel end stays mostly dry. Then the damp reed seals nicely on the mouthpiece. Afterwards, I take the reed off and let it dry on glass. Repeat...
