 Re: Can I save these reeds?

Can confirm about the hydrogen peroxide and pipe cleaner.

Before you use the pipe cleaner make sure it is wet, reeds really well soaked, and swipe it between your fingers a few times under running water to get rid of most of the fuzzies.

I produce a lot of saliva lately - I had really minor oral surgery over the summer and it seems to have become a problem. So my reeds get lots of plaque.

Also now that my lip is in shape I noticed that my tone has become overall FLAT. Even on reeds that crow a C, used to play perfectly in tune before the little operation. So frustrating! I was used to playing with this huge bump on my lower lip and that really messed with my muscle memory. Aargh.

Ok vent over.
