    Getting the Most Out of Your Reeds
     
    - Be sure to thoroughly break-in and rotate your reeds. Do not play each reed for more than a few minutes in the first days of use.
     
    - The acidity content in one’s saliva may negatively affect the life of a reed. Consider using water to soak your reeds instead.
     
    - Dark spots in the bark of the reed do not indicate that a reed will play poorly.
     
    - The entire length of the reed vibrates; too much ligature pressure can stifle the vibration, so be careful when tightening the screw(s).
     
    - Storing your reeds properly is important for maintaining stable, well-functioning reeds.
