 Re: reeds and humidity
Author: Connor

What works is important, however, living in eastern Colorado, a sealed environment for reeds is a must. I use the humid packs that come with the Rico Reserve reeds (The red box Ricos). In my plastic bag, I have about 15 of the packs and estimate that the humidity is around 50%.

If your humid packs become hard (essentially, they dry out), place them in a plastic back with a wet sponge covered in salt. Salt helps elevate some mold growth and the damp sponge in a sealed environment will keep the humidity around 70%. Since the humid packs act as a two way humidity control device, spent, or dried out pack will absorb moisture and will once again be functional at their advertised humidity level.
