Placing Your Reed

Align your reed at the top of the mouthpiece, as you would a cane reed. Use the heart at the base of the reed to center it on the mouthpiece table.

Cleaning Your Reed

Wash your reed as needed in warm, soapy water or disinfect with a mild alcohol solution. Avoid harsh solvents or high temperatures, as these may warp your reed.

Storing Your Reed

Your reed is sturdy, but it is still important to protect the thin tip of the reed when not in use. Always put your reed away dry in a fully-enclosed reed case.
