 Aging vandoren reeds - thoughts or practices?
Author: rtaylor

Hi,

I've read about people that will "age" vandoren reeds. It seems that new ones straight out of the box are really green. It's been this way for a long time.

Beyond the usual one to two week break in, what are some thoughts on letting their reeds "age" for lack of a better term. I remember something about how Harold Wright has a stock pile and he used reeds multiple years old. Maybe someone has a more clear version of that story and whether it's true or not.

Cheers,
Robert
