How do I store my Légère Reeds?

Storing your Légère Reeds properly is important to maintain their quality and prevent them from warping or becoming damaged. Here are some tips on how to store your Légère clarinet and saxophone reeds:

  • Reed Case: Invest in a good quality reed case. These cases typically have individual slots for each reed, keeping them separated and protected from each other. The case provided with all new Légère reeds is an excellent option as well. the ideal reed case either keeps the reed tip floating, or allows it to lay flat with no pressure on the tip or sides of the reed. Watch the video here for the optimal use of this case.
  • Clean Mouthpiece: Before storing your reeds, ensure that your saxophone mouthpiece is clean and free from any residue.
  • Rotate Reeds: If you have multiple reeds, rotate their use regularly. This prevents one reed from becoming overused while others remain unused for extended periods, which can affect their performance.
  • Avoid Pressure: Do not store heavy items on top of your reed case, as this can damage the delicate reeds.
  • Hygiene: Ensure your hands are clean before handling the reeds to prevent transferring dirt or oils onto them, which can affect their performance and lifespan.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your Légère Reeds remain in good condition and ready for use whenever you need them.
