But, implicit in my original comment is the question "why?" Why is it important what condition the reed is kept in when it isn't being played, so long, of course, as it doesn't warp as a result of its treatment or lose its vibrancy in an unreasonably short time as a result (mine do neither)? What is the purpose, other than to prevent warpage and premature deterioration, of any regimen of maintenance between playing sessions?

It really isn't as though I just post things with no reason or experience behind them. I'm sorry if the background or the intent of what I wrote was unclear - that's my fault, although a more tactful response might have been simply to ask whether I had any basis for what I said. I did find "... you have little to offer the conversation don't you think?" just a little raw, especially added to the exchange Liquorice and I had over your post (with which I never had a quarrel) in the other thread in which he insisted that I must have spent the last 50 years incapable of performing with any rhythmic accuracy. I'm perhaps (I think justifiably, but that's just my opinion) just a little hyper-sensitive (or maybe hyper-irritable) just now.
