Arnoldstang. " I do find the Forestone reeds absorb water. Any chance that they do warp?

Hi Arnoldstang. It's impossible for the Forestone synthetics to absorb water as they are a combination of bamboo pulp & plastic. You could leave this type of reed in water for days and it would not take up a trace of water within it.
I"ve been using Forestone reeds now for several years and the only problem I"ve had is a thin film of water getting between the reed and table. (I use a Rovner ligature). It does take a little time for this to happen. Easily fixed. Just take the reed off and wipe dry the reed & table of the MP. With the convenience of a Rovner ligature this can be done quite quickly.
