 Re: reeds and humidity

At the risk of sounding like a smartaleck (not my intent), I wet them in my mouth or in a film can of water (if I have one with me) before I play on them. If they're very dry, I wet them a little longer. They probably take a couple of minutes more to perk up to full vibrancy than ones that have been maintained in a humidified condition. I am not unhappy with the lifespan of the reeds I use this way - I'm still playing on a couple of them that I started in my regular rotation before Christmas.
