Re: reed mold mystery

It's a newer case with the ridges on the bottom for air flow. No he hasn't been sick since he got these reeds (he had strep before but it didn't affect his reeds then). I did tell him to start storing it in the outer pocket of his case, because I know he has a tendency to not swab his (thankfully plastic) clarinet and thought maybe he was getting excess moisture from that. But the strange thing is it hasn't happened to any of his reeds before this. I guess we will see what happens with the two Arias that are in there now. Is it possible we got a bum box of Vandorens?

I have never had a moldy reed personally, even when I used cases like that years ago and used Vandoren V12s for years before switching to Aria. When a reed gets moldy does it typically just get it on the surface or all the way through the reed? Because these are all the way through.
