if you alternate between the reeds you have then in collection they will last longer...

 

i am a cheapy cheapskate person when it comes to reeds...so i'll wait til the reed darkens. that usually happens in about...a month or so. haha.

I know a clarinet who used the same reed from July until December, every contest/football game and concert...

 

let's just say that it wasn't really pleasant sounding by the time mid August hit.

yes... they need all the help... well she needs all the help she can get.

 

Our director finally bought a new reed for her at our first concert cus it sounded... less than bearable by then.

I use reeds longer than I probably should...especially on the sax. I'm used to my double reeds lasting horribly long so I try to make my sax reeds do the same. Basically I only change when i crack the reed. But on bassoon I try to get new reeds every couple of months. I have 6 that work right now. :P

I remember the first week of school one of our bassoon players had this disgusting sounding reed..

 

Her excuse as to why she didn't have any better ones:

 

"My sister ate all my reeds"

 

 

:huh:
