RE: Are reeds good indefinitely? (dumb question)

Aside from that I wouldn't use a Rico reed if it was the last reed on earth (well, maybe then) if they have been properly kept, even acidentally, they should be good for long periods of time.

Reeds usually last me about six months, give or take a few weeks, if I take care of them, but there are reeds I've had for over a year which are still excellent and I know a big-time professional who has had 12 really excellent reeds for well over a year.

He plays them regularly, for a very short time, then puts them away again. As far as using them, he only uses these 12 reeds for very important playing.
