Re: Moldy reed

If the reeds really had mold -- powdery black stuff -- a simple cure is to scrub it off with toothpaste and an old toothbrush. I've done it many times back when Tom Ridenour sold reeds under his own name brand, which he shipped in clear, airtight plastic sleeves. If you played one and put it back into the sleeve without getting it **completely** dry, mold grew overnight. They were good reeds, though, and worth scrubbing.
