Re: Wavy Reeds

The reeds usually get wavy as they dry (too little humidity, and dry too quickly). There's a whole world of discussions (and products) pertaining to how to prevent them from becoming wavy in the first place...it's another one of those issues in which everyone comes to some determination of what works best individually.

However, once a reed is wavy, (I used to have this problem with my Tenor sax reeds), all I ever did was hold the reed in my mouth while I assembled my sax (a few seconds at most), and then pressed the reed tip between my thumb and a flat surface (normally my reed table) for a few seconds.
