Reed “Tip” of the Month
————————-
With the cold weather and dryness of winter, ’tis the season
for Chapstick and other lip balms. Great for your lips,
but did you know they can gunk up your reeds, stuffing up
the fibers of the cane and shortening their lifespan? Keep your reeds clean and healthy by taking the time to wipe off any lip balm
before playing and, as always, blowing out your reeds from the
cork end before putting them away after playing.

Since it is November, we’d like to say thank you for being our
loyal customers! Our way of thanking you is by offering to teach you
what we know and love about reedmaking. Since many reed companies
never divulge the”secrets” of their reedmaking techinques,
we think it is pretty neat that we are offering our customers a special
opportunity to learn from us!

Read below for details about our first ever reedmaking workshop.

The BUZZ

Want to learn the “secrets” of reedmaking from the owners of
MKL Reeds?
We are offering 2 fabulous, unique opportunities for
our customers to learn the basics of reedmaking in a personalized,
small-group setting.
Either of our seminars would make the perfect holiday gift for any
oboe player.

Reed “Tip” of the Month
————————-
Ever heard the saying “give a man a fish, feed him for a day;
teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime”? Learning to make
reeds is your ticket to a lifetime of good reeds! You will have
the best success with the reeds in your case if you have the
knowledge and awareness of how they were made and how to tweak them
yourself. Reeds are as individual as the oboists who play them,
so having even the most basic knowledge of using a knife will help
you to greater understand and finetune your reeds for your needs.
You will get more out of your reeds and your oboe playing if you
learn how to make reeds!

Reed “Tip” of the Month
————————-

Planning on eating lots of candy this Halloween? Remember
to brush your teeth before playing the oboe! Eating right
before playing not only puts you at risk for plugging up your
reed with “lunch”, but also stimulates your saliva’s digestive juices,
which break down the fibers of reeds. Your reeds will last longer
and lead healthier lives if you take the care to play with freshly
cleaned teeth.

Congratulations! As a newsletter subscriber, you are one
of the first to see this important information. Read on
for the latest and greatest from MKL Reeds.

In this month’s issue:

*From the Owners’ Office – Summer’s almost gone…

*The BUZZ – Back-to-School reeds!

*Reed “Tip” of the Month – Know your reeds

*The Trading Post – Looking for oboe stuff?

*Customer Corner – Have a comment or question about MKL Reeds?

From the Owners’ Office
———————–
September is just about upon us, and almost everyone will be heading
back to school or work in the next few weeks. Think about what
your goals might be, musically or otherwise. This is a great time to
get rejuvenated and reorganized!

The BUZZ
————–
Try our “Back-to-School Sampler”, and save $3!

What is this “sampler”, and why would you want it??

With our Back-to-School Sampler, you will receive:
1 REGULAR reed, 1 PROFESSIONAL reed, and an MKL Reeds pencil!

As the weather starts to settle in, and as you get a better feel
for what your “reed needs” are as school begins, you might find
yourself needing reeds of slightly different strengths and with
slightly different qualities. Or, you might be a new customer who
just wants to try a little bit of the 2 kinds of reeds we offer.

Either way, the sampler is for you! We are offering this special
for a limited time only, and at a $3 savings off the regular price.

Go to:

http:/www.mklreeds.com to order now.

Reed “Tip” of the Month
————————-
As you acquire more reeds and others get old, keep track of
what’s in your reed case. Every reed has different strengths
and weaknesses, and part of being an oboist is choosing the right
one for the task at hand. Whether you organize you reeds from
easiest to hardest, oldest to newest, or your favorite to least
favorite, know each of your reed’s potential and know when it’s time
to clean out some of the ones that are always in the case that
never get played for one reason or another.

Also, if you order different types of reeds, such as in
our sampler pack, make a
note of which reed is which so you’ll know what to order
later on. If a regular and professional reed are not
different thread colors, make a mark on the cork of one
of both to help you tell them apart. The more you know
your reeds, the more you can use each one to
its greatest potential!

August is here, and for a lot of you, that means back-to-school
is on the horizon. If you’ve taken some time off, start back
slowly now so that your endurance will have a chance to build
back up.

Reed “Tip” of the Month
————————-

Whether you use our MKL Reed Soaker or something else to soak
your reeds, remember to follow these simple rules to get the
most out of your MKL Reeds!
1. Use fresh water in your soaker, and change it regularly
for your own health and the health of your reeds.
2. Room temperature water is best.
3. As a reminder, MKL Reeds don’t need to be “soaked” at
all—a quick dip will do! Follow the enclosed soaking
instructions with your reeds to get the best sound,
response, and stability.
4. Although they don’t need much water, our reeds do
need some! Reeds are more fragile and less responsive
when completely dry, so always dip them in water before playing.

Reed “Tip” of the Month

As you know, we ship our reeds in capped plastic tubes with cotton to protect them during shipment. However, reeds can still get damaged in the mail. When you receive reeds from MKL Reeds, inspect them all the day they’re delivered. Not only is it healthier for a reed to be stored in a reed case (and not in plastic tubes), but it is also a better guarantee for you to receive a replacement for a damaged reed if you notify us immediately after shipment.

Reed “Tip” of the Month
——————————

Reeds can be affected by EVERY change in weather or season.

Here in Chicago, and in many parts of the country, we are
dealing specifically with humidity. Humid conditions tend to
make the reed look and feel very open, and much “bigger” than
it felt in drier weather.

The cane that the reed is made of absorbs some extra moisture,
therefore swelling up a bit more than normal. This often has a good
effect on older reeds, which may suddenly be brought back to life!

For newer reeds, however, the openness might be more than normal. For
these reeds, in these conditions, we do recommend closing the reed
just a tiny bit to make it more manageable. The way to do this is simple
but requires a gentle touch:

After the reed has been dipped in water and is allowed to sit for a
moment (we recommend the “soaking” technique for ALL of our reeds),
GENTLY squeeze just the tip of the reed together, slowly, for a few
seconds. You may have to do this more than once.

Remember, the reed must be moist, or it may crack. The desired effect is a
reed that is just a tad more closed than the reed you started with.
