Why should I store my Légère reed when not in use?

It is best to remove the Légère reed from the mouthpiece when done playing. Leaving it on the mouthpiece can make it easier to be damaged by accidental brushing against it and chipping or cracking it.

Store your Légère reed either in the reed case that it came with, or in a reed case that has a flat surface the tip can lie on. Reed cases that hold or pinch the tip of the reed can cause accidental damage to the sensitive tip.

Please note, the European and American Cut reeds are slightly wider at the tip than the Signature reeds for the same instrument, and so may not fit in some commercially available reed cases.
