Re: Why Cover Mouthpiece

It depends on where you are, but in New Mexico, James has it right. Without a mouthpiece cover of some kind, the reed's dry in about two minutes, so you have to take it off and wet it in order to get a sound out of the instrument. The Silverstein rubber things are very good for this. Back when I used metal caps, more reed damage happened because of the caps than what they were supposed to protect against.
