 Re: Beeswax on back of reeds

Russ- I'd bet dimes to donuts it's what Tony F said his teacher told him- that the beeswax seals out excess moisture. Especially since in my case, without the beeswax, I can restore lost high note play temporarily by squeezing moisture out of the tip.

What I now have to determine is how much is needed and how to apply easily and safely. Since I've already confirmed that a large application is effective, next I'll try a teeny tiny trifling amount. Whether that works or doesn't, I'll know which way to go after that. Standard engineering style binary search.
