How To Take Great Care of Your Reeds

 

Your reeds are the doorway to having a great sound so you want to take care of them so they last a long time.

First, find a way to keep them flat by using a plastic or metal reed guard. There are many types to choose from. Just go online or to your local music store and see what’s available.

Second, you may have a favorite reed, but don’t always use the same reed. Rotating your reeds will give them a longer life.

Our third recommendation is our favorite. It’s the Ridenour ATG Universal Single Reed Finishing System  by Tom Ridenour. It is an easy to use tool to help you perfect every reed you have. As he says, “Say good-bye to problem reeds forever”. Your reed will play better, last longer, and be easier to take care of.
