I do rotate reeds - about 8 at a time. Any more than that is just needless OCD overkill.

However, lately I've used the other controversial method of just finding a brand new reed with good qualities, and leaving it on the mouthpiece after each playing session. If the reed has longevity and decent cane it won't warp and will adapt perfectly to the mouthpiece. Surprisingly, this method seems to work.

I've used it often for 3 straight (Friday,Saturday, Sunday) performances with excellent results.

Just put a cap on the mouthpiece after each day's playing, and you're ready for tomorrow.
