I agree with Ken. A good reed wears out because the grain weakens, Period. I've had many reeds last for months and some that die a few days after playing. Learning to clip, trim, and finish it can bring a good piece of wood back to life because you're making a new tip, the thinnest part of the reed that weakens first. I call it clip and tapper. I have my explantion on by website. It's worked great for me all my reed life once i learned it. Saved hundreds of reeds without using chemicals and on whatever ligature I was using at the time.
