 Re: Oiling reeds-my conclusions one month later

I have tried a drop of tea tree oil on the backside of a Vandoren V12 reed. So far, my impression is that I wasted a great reed. The response has become sluggish (which I hoped would improve after a few days, but no luck so far), and it leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

Maybe tea tree oil is too thin, so that it penetrates the reed too much, or it just isn't for me. But I decided not to continue the experiment.
