 Re: Do reeds warp less after use if they dry slowly?

My results agree with Karl. I let my reeds dry in open air bark side down. Before playing I wet them thoroughly in a container of water. No warping, ever.

If you lay a wet reed flat side down on a flat surface, especially held there with force as many reed holders do, it will prevent normal drying and changes to fiber configurations. I did that for years, and then I'd get tip warpage regularly. Don't try to force a drying reed to be flat; it forces it to warp when released and wet again.
