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

I rinse my mouthpiece, but not my reeds. My reeds last for months in rotation and stay pretty new looking. I rinse the mouthpiece each day when I'm done playing if I'm at my studio. If I'm somewhere else I usually don't bother unless there's a sink that's convenient. I do a lemon juice soak when deposits start forming, which tends to happen around the mouthpiece patch. This is how I keep my mouthpieces clean smelling and looking like new. I generally don't touch the facing, rails, or chambers with anything other than water and lemon juice. My main mouthpiece is a customized one by Wadkowski and I hope to stay as happy with it as I have been for many years to come. I don't want to erode it or let it become gross. I also brush my teeth before playing when it's convenient to do so.
