 Re: Moldy reeds......

Scrub off the mold with an old toothbrush and a little bit of toothpaste and rinse well. The mold tastes bad, but it's not poisonous (or else I would be long dead).

Unlike many people, I store my reeds dry. I hold the butt of the reed between my left thumb and forefinger and swipe forward from the shoulder to the tip with my right thumb and forefinger. It takes 10 or more swipes to get the vamp completely dry.

I then keep the reeds in a holder with ventilation, such as the ones Vandoren uses.
