vandoren optimum storage

Author: bahamutofskycon

I just bought a Vandoren Optimum lig (w/out cap - cap would have been too expensive) to try on my bass clarinet. The lig comes with a recommendation to store it in it's "original plastic corrosion-resistant bag."

My concern - I'm afraid if I store it in it's bag it may be more likely to be bent by accident. At $50 a pop I do not want that to happen.

My question - Is it safe to store the lig on my mouthpiece in the bag? The idea being that the mouthpiece would help the ligature keep its form if something were to bump it. Or would the "corrosion-resistant bag" be potentially harmful to my mouthpiece? Since I've a Grabner CX_LB at $250 a pop I really don't want anything to happen to it.

This may seem like a silly concern but since the first Optimum I bought came bent out of the box I'm a little worried.

Thanks for the advice,
Steve Ballas
