Re: Moldy reeds......

Lose the ziploc bag. I tend to dry my reeds a bit (by either gently swiping across my forearm or between thumb and first finger) before putting them away. No sealed containers, please. If you end up using a reed guard, run it through the dishwasher every now and then.

Whether to try and salvage them is up to you. I wouldn't bother with it, but that's just me. If it grosses you out less than me, or if your system isn't as sensitive as mine, give it a try... but I don't think you'll be able to actually rid the reed of mold once it's growing.

Happy playing!
