Re: Dead Reed

Author: mjfoboe  Date:   2012-10-26 16:08 Let's make a distinction between a "dead" reed and one that never was any good. A dead reed is one that has outlived it playability. The reed does not vibrate easily ... pitch probably would go up, and you blow harder and harder with as the reed dies its slow death. Putting a reed in a sonic bath, cleaning it out, cutting the tip all may resurrect the reed for a short period of time. But alas ... unlike zombies ...... it must eventually die! At times it is really difficult to let go of a beloved dying reed and we mourn at its lost. So it is ...... in life. Mark
