Great articles on Reed Science at

And lastly, one that is easy to understand is
http://www.reedual.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Reeds-Some-Clarifications.pdf

Basically, play the reed for only a couple of minutes for the first 3-4 days. Increase the time played by maybe 5 minutes per day for those 3 days. The oxycellulose has to leech from the reed before it will be stable enough to play for longer, as before that, it absorbs way too much water, and will not fdry flat (warp) - this is not "tip wave", but the reed will not lay flat on a piece of glass due to the edges drying first.
