Happy Summer!

Summer is definitely here, at least in the Southwest! Now that
the heat is here, your reeds will encounter many different
temperatures. From a muggy practice room to a cold air-conditioned
hall, your reeds will experience many changes in the way they
sound and feel.

ALWAYS be prepared with more reeds than you think you will need!

Reed “Tip” of the Month
——————————

Just like people, reeds have shifting needs as they age. When
we ship our reeds, they are ready to play with very little
soaking. However, as reeds age with playing, their openings
become smaller and the fibers of the cane break down. Because
of this, reeds need to be soaked longer the older they get.
Keep this in mind as you soak your old reeds–they have different
needs than new reeds!

The Trading Post
