Stagnant performance reeds

Author: sfalexi

I just ordered a Legere reed to use for practicing. I am practicing fairly often and didn't want to keep buying and breaking in new reeds. A bit lazy, yes, however I figured this legere should last me a very long time and that'll save money and frustration in the end.

But I am going to buy a new box of reeds in order to find and prepare a few concert performance level reeds. So practice on the Legere, perform on cane. Here's the question . . .

Once I break in the new reeds, and find one or two that are performance worthy, how long can I keep them in a reed holder and have them retain their concert ready shape? Is it necessary to play on them at certain intervals to keep them in that shape? Thanks.
