DISASTER! Just completely trashed my reed when I went to turn it 180° in the socket - my thumb slipped up the reed and bent it over splitting it all the way up to the tip. See attached photo of the now deceased reed.

So that was an expensive lesson to learn as that's £130 down the drain. Shame reeds aren't covered by insurance as a mouthpiece that costs the same price would be covered for accidental damage. But mouthpieces aren't considered as consumables like reeds are - synthetic or otherwise.

The opinions I express are my own.
