Re: case for storing Légère Euro reeds

Here's the latest update from Légère in response to my request for clarification regarding what they meant by tip. Apparently it's not just the very edge of the tip but the larger area they're referring to:

"When I say a glasslike surface I am only using this as a reference to something that is completely flat. We do not want any pressure to be put onto the general area of the tip as it can cause the reed to warp. I have listed a case below that Protec offers that does not put any pressure on the tips rather just has a slot the reeds slide into to keep them in place.

I hope that this helps to better answer your questions.

However, isn't the case they recommend here the same one you refer to, Hans, that created problems with your Légères?

After re-reading all comments above, I think either I'll continue using my plain old Vandoren plastic cases, or I'll try the D'Addario or Dave's #1 Reedguard. Thanks much everybody for all your thoughtful input.
