DON'T SOAK YOUR REEDS IN WATER!!

Here I debunk some myths revolving around saliva being bad for our reeds. Saliva is not too acidic for our reeds nor does it have enzymes that are strong enough to break down our reeds. Water is bad for our reeds because it creates an ideal environment for bacteria, mold, yeast, etc.

Future video topics on reeds: reed storage, how to break in reeds, how to keep reeds from warping, reed preparation, and more!
