Some reeds are dead before they even lived. But...what I typically call a 'dead reed' is one that has outlived any usefulness--not even good enough for practice. They usually have a sagging scale, no power/projection left, often a more muffled sound than they used to have. Also, when it cracks, it's dead. And yes, there are degrees of "deadness"! A 'somewhat dead' reed can sometimes be brought back to life for a bit with a few strokes of the knife. But after I determine a reed is "dead-dead", I'm taking the cane off the staple to re-use the staple again.
