About Reeds…
Reeds must be adequately hydrated in order for them to "speak", avert leaking, etc. Soak up to the binding for 5'-10'…less in humid, moist situations…more in desert, or winter heating conditions.

Please note that hairline cracks extending up to 3mm or so from the binding, will not adversely affect the reed. Reeds arriving with a crack in the tip are not usable. Please call me if this happens.


Please note… All cane and reeds prepared in shop are processed using purified water.
