 Re: Do reeds ever get harder as they get older?

Ironically, this kind of oversoaking (dark orange bark) has actually saved some of my reeds! Typically, hateful reeds that just don't want to play no matter what I do to them: normally, the cane is waxy or soapy in texture.... it does not scrape like good cane.

The oversoaking incidents (by accident, forgot the reeds in a soaker for 24 hours) gave the reed some useful life: very good practicing reeds.
