 Re: Beeswax on back of reeds

Yes, Arnold. I hesitate to say "FDA Approved" because I'm not sure but it is used in contact with many food products. Regarding closing up the "pores" I don't know that any one person's opinion is better than another. It appears that we wet reeds before playing to make the tip more resilient but I don't know if that's what it does.
I am using a solid stick of Carnauba wax to rub the area that my upper lip contacts because it helps keep my lip from becoming irritated. I know that works. I do believe the reed tip suffers fatigue damage with time and loses its resiliency. "Just b ecause you don't have proof doesn't mean something is not true"
