Re: humidified reed holders

Doug, I was surprised to hear of the short life of Boveda packs for you.

Mine last for months, but I store them and reeds in an air tight food container and use the simple Vandoren plastic reed holders the new reeds come in. The container's only open when I am taking out or putting back a reed.

I also keep a hygrometer in with the reeds as well care of Mike Lowenstern's website: https://www.earspasm.com/reed-care/hygrometer.

This lets me know when its time to change Boveda packs.

I think this allows my reeds to get to playing speed faster when I begin a practice session because they never completely dry. I cannot find warpage of any kind: not at the tip or when measuring side to side or front to back, across all brands.
