RE: Wiseman reed cases

I have made my own reed case modeled on such as the Wiseman and other similar. Design wise..to me..it makes sense to put the tips at the hinge side..which is what I did. I have used a piece of plastic rather than glass and a "spongy material" to put the right degree of pressure on the reed tip area. I am now in the process of covering the spongy material with velvet as the reeds want to stick to the sponge. One of the advantages of these type cases is that the flat outside surfaces can be used to flatten and "treat" the wet reed prior to use. Plus..fasten a piece of 600 grit on the bottom with rubber cement and you have a finishing 'tool".
