Re: humidified reed holders

The Vandoren Hygro reed case for six reeds works really well for me. Easy to monitor with the color changing gadget, refilling is done easily with plain water and a refill isn't needed too often even in an extremely dry indoor climate (not for several weeks). No problems ever with mold on the reeds.

On the other side, the older and larger Vandoren "Hygrocase" for about 20 reeds with a built in digital hygrometer I don't recommend (needs refilling too often, and eventually I also got problems with mold).

For larger reed quantities and reed packages I use a cigar humidor box, where I just put an open water jar inside to get up to the desired level (and try to remember replacing the water about once every week).
