 Re: Oh the humidity! Reeds warping...

Sounds like a new scientific study is overdue ... evaluation of various reed rituals.

Distilling down my long-winded, overly-detailed post I would just say my system morphs a bit from time to time ... but since I use limited reed wetting (and mostly with plain water) and being careful how reeds are stored, warp is very,very rare. I don't even check for it anymore.

I've not had one warp problem in the last dozen boxes, and I now get 7-8 playable, good sounding reeds (with minor adjustments) out of 10. Much better than VD reeds of 30 years ago ... I used to get 1-2 out of 10 ...

Anyone remember the "hand selected" Vandorens that made debut in the 1980s?
