Interesting. I've never used a sponge. My current system is my first serious foray into keeping reeds humidified. My reeds definitely last longer than they used to. I'm also using reeds with more consistent quality cane (Steuer instead of Vandoren) and a rotation of 8 or more reeds that I switch every 30 to 60 minutes of playing. I play 4 or more hours most days and get several months from most reeds. I also like to keep things simple as much as I can!
