Are there any tips for improving Légère reed longevity?

Here are some tips to help you get the most life out of your Légère reeds:

• Rotate Your Reeds: Avoid using the same reed every time you play. Rotate between multiple reeds to allow them to rest between uses and to minimize wear and tear on any single reed.
• Prevent Warping and Damage: Store your reeds in a reed case that puts minimal pressure on the tip of the reed to prevent damage or impact.
• Clean Your Mouthpiece: Regularly clean your mouthpiece to remove buildup of material that can degrade reed performance over time.
• Replace Worn Reeds: Know when it’s time to retire a reed and replace it with a new one. Signs of a worn-out reed include loss of responsiveness, diminished tone quality, and visible damage such as chips or cracks.

By following these tips, you can prolong the life of your Légère reeds and maintain consistent performance quality.
