No one would drive a brand new car (particularly a REALLY expensive one) at full RPM down the highway for hours at a time, so you shouldn't expect a reed to be much different.


The key is RE-HYDRATION. Until a reed gets close to this 'ideal,' it will NOT exhibit it's actual potential. So yes, reeds can go from sounding pretty good the first few days to sounding pretty lousy a few days later and the other way around. Taking four or five days to ensure that you have reeds that last up to a few months is not sucking the fun out of music - it's guaranteeing the fun of music !!!
