 Re: Do reeds ever de-warp?

Like Fuzzy, I've never seen one warped as described.
For wrinkled tips (what I call "warping") I do two things--

-- When I am playing concerts I do keep them a little moist at all times... not too much water, just enough to keep them from drying out. Then you are pretty sure it will be OK for the concert.

-- To take "warps" out of the reed tip (ie. it dried out completely), I make sure it is completely wet. Next I put the reed tip on the flat part of the mouthpiece (any flat surface will do). I put it on there perpendicularly to the mouthpiece and pin it there with my left thumb. Then I use my right index finger to "tick" it-- gently--like motioning "come here". This will remove the warps.
