Re: Reed Mold

I want to correct what I posted. I just looked at the reeds again and they are not what I said but are D'Addario Reserve Classics purchased 8-17-2015. I looked at all the reeds I have have and all show some darkening where the curve of bevel starts and extends half to 3/4 the way to the tip, and I would not call it black but rather a brownish discoloration. I may in fact be a normal discoloration and not an issue at all. In fact I may be overreacting to what I read. And I do not really want to ruin the reeds by trying to 'clean' them and certainly do not plan to throw all of them away. But I might wash the reed holders they are stored in as I read somewhere that someone started to do. It probably is not mold at all. But I was curious. I read a lot and try many things, some successful and others not. i am trying to learn and improve but do not wish to mislead.
