Re: Reed Inconsistency Experiences

I use the Daddario case as my primary reed holder. It has grooves on the back that allow the reeds to dry more consistently top to bottom ( it holds 8 reeds which it what I use in my monthly rotation). It also has a band ( elastic band) system that hold the reeds firmly but allow flexibility. Vandoren also make a case that has grooves on the back, which also holds 8 reeds and is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. I use this case also BUT it has a more inflexible (rigid plastic) system for holding the reeds in place. As I have indicated, the problem with glass cases especially in climates that are dry, is that the bottom of the reed cannot breathe, therefore they warp.
