By storing reeds in a humidity controlled environment, without any portion of the reed resting on a flat surface, woodwind players can expect to notice a substantial improvement in the consistency and longevity of their reeds. (Holds 10 Reeds)
Cane reeds stored at a stable temperature and humidity will be quicker to warm up, less likely to warp, and more stable in strength over the life of the reed. For players travelling between various climates with their reeds, or for players rotating a large number of reeds, these cases are a lifesaver!
These reed cases were developed in conjunction with Dean Newcombe, principal clarinet of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, who needed a top-quality solution for the storage of his many clarinet reeds.

Saxophone specialist Aidan has been using a Holzinger reed case for his tenor and baritone sax reeds for the last few months, and says:
"This case has changed my relationship with reeds. As someone who isn't playing every instrument I own every day, this case has dramatically improved the lifespan of my reeds. I'm much less worried about leaving reeds untouched for a week or so and finding that they've died in storage. My Jazz Select reeds now warm up within 1-2 minutes, and I've saved money and time as they've lasted heaps longer. This case is a fantastic investment if you hate mucking around with your reeds!"
Local Bassoon extraordinaire and skilled woodworker Matthew Holzinger builds these cases in conjunction with his father, an engineer, using a combination of state-of-the-art CNC manufacture and good old fashioned hand craftsmanship. They utilise beautiful Australian timbers, including Tasmanian Blackwood, Jarrah and Redgum, as well as premium cigar humidor parts, to create an exceptionally stable environment for storing all manner of reeds.
