 Re: Legere reeds: Nice. But flat!

I'd be worried about wiping my Legere reeds down with rubbing alcohol. I think it would prematurely deteriorate the reed. I wipe mine down with a clean cloth after using and occasionally run a little tap water over it too. That's about as clean as I need it to be. If you're too germaphobic, the clarinet isn't an ideal instrument anyway. Most serious germs enter the body through the eyes and the nose. The hydrochloric acid in the stomach is remarkably effective at killing most inocent bacteria that would be left on a mouthpiece or a reed.
