Yeah, I'm assuming reeds that have not been properly 're-hydrated.' You need to play on new reeds for only a few minutes per day for about four to five days straight. It is only after that period that a reed will "hold together" for extended play periods.


I don't know what your local humidity is doing in Ohio, but the problem with reeds not being broken-in correctly only gets worse when the indoor humidity is LOW (during the Winter) in the 30% or lower range.
