Hmm... interesting. Made me think- Has anyone ever experimented with salt water?

If I remember correctly you can wash/soak fruits and vegetables in salt water rather than detergents. The theory behind it having something to do with creating an imbalance between the insides of organisms and the surounding environment(the salt water).

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/409252 -- found this about how it works (probably not the best/most comprehensive info out there but just the result of a quick search)


So- maybe using salt water for soaking rather than regular water might have some effect???? I might have to try it out myself.

Edit: Just occured to me that perhaps using salt water as a soak before using the reed might not be so great for the rest of the instrument ... if the salty-ness were to pass through. Any ideas about that? Maybe it would work to use salt water as a post-use rinse before drying and putting away reeds and fresh water as a pre-use soak?
