 Re: Hydrogen peroxide and reeds
Author: Ken Shaw ★2017

Hydrogen perioxide is water with oxygen dissolved in it. When it's exposed to air, it turns into water an oxygen. A strong peroxide solution will burn skin, but you use only a very mild solution for reeds, and, anyway, once it's stopped fizzing, it's just water.

I've found that when a reed gets dirty and greasy, and the performance starts to deteriorate, peroxide will revive it for a short time -- maybe an hour or so of playing.

The action of the peroxide lifts up the grain of the cane on the bottom, so you'll need to flatten the bottom to re-create an airtight seal.

Best regards.
