 Best Way to Break in and Care for New Reeds
Author: Exiawolf

Greetings!

I was curious as to the best way to break in new clarinet reeds (Specifically for my case, however this most likely applies to many). I play Vandoren V12 3 1/2's and find that a majority of the time I get 1 great reed, 2 good reeds, and the rest end up acting very poor. What's the best way to "break in" and care for your reeds without using specific tools (Think household items or no tools at all). I really need to suck every last bit of value out of each box of reed due to money issues. Thanks so much in advance!
