The legend goes that Zombie reeds infest our reed cases.

They creep in and do their evil to our playing and slowly change our normal playing until we can only play on the dead ones.

It is the oboe version of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.

Clean out the gunk using pipe cleaners, hydrogen peroxide or your plaque.

Clip the smallest amount possible off the tip and the dead will rise to play another 440 or 2. 442 to be clear, but squeeze the reed open, reduce the blade slip and play out further on the end.

But beware... that is part of the deadly intoxicating cycle that turns you into a Zombie reed player. Muuhaa! Muha!!!!

Abandon all hope ye who pass here.
