Re: Reeds/Mouthpiece: To Wash or Not to Wash?

From an Alexander reed brochure discussing how water is better than saliva when breaking in new reeds: "...Saliva alone can break down the fibers as well as not providing enough moisture for the reed." (Emphasis mine)

From Michele Gringras for Rico http://bit.ly/2voeYF8
"Tip 5: Clean Reeds Last Longer: After playing, run your reed under water and gently wipe away excess."
