Re: Moldy reed

But, if I'm reading correctly what James wrote, this was a brand new reed that had become moldy in the store packaging:

>>One of my students reported opening a new Vandoren reed and discovering it covered in mold. Anyone else experience this?>>

Was this really a newly-purchased reed, or had the student bought it some time ago and stored it? (In an opened box? In original packaging? Sealed?) I'm in the habit of buying reeds and not opening them all up immediately, but thanks to this message, I think I'd better start checking the reeds while I've still got the receipt. If I store a reed and it gets moldy in my house, then that's my responsibility. But, if I discovered that a brand-new reed that I opened from a sealed package was moldy directly from the store or the mail-order house, then I think I would try to return that reed.
