 Re: collapsing a reed

I usually squeeze SLOWLY and GENTLY starting at the blend/heart area and moving down the reed to the bottom of the scrape: less reeds split when I do it this way.

With enough playing and a little less soaking, they usually settle down in a few days.

Robin seems to have covered many of the factors in detail...

For me, over-soaking is the only real culprit, easily remedied by the above.
