Let's not get ahead of ourselves !!!!!


You NEED to re-hydrate a reed BEFORE you can make any assessment of a reed's playability. This process can easily take three or four days (and a few days longer in cold climates during the Winter when the air is really really dry).


I pull out all ten reeds from a box and play on them five minutes at a time. As I put them down on the counter, I put them in a rough order. That order changes from day to day until they begin to "settle." Sometimes the a reed that is about LAST in the first play session becomes almost FIRST by the end (and vice versa). So how on EARTH is anyone out there making a proper decision based on pulling a reed out of a box and just blowing on it and passing judgement?


It cannot be done.........without wasting YOUR time and YOUR money.
