-- Posted by Prysim at 5:58 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 prob solved, it was today! we got perfect score -- Posted by RainbowKid92 at 5:59 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 what do you play? -- Posted by nearlyinsane at 6:01 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Yeah, basically. If you have ur instrument with you i'd play it for a little bit too... Man, new reeds taste like poo but they play so nice! -- Posted by leland515 at 6:01 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Soak them and play. Just break them in.. -- Posted by RainbowKid92 at 6:03 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 oh, i play clarinet, and all i have to do is suck on em (ha..ha) and press it against the flat part of my mouthpiece to loosen it up. and i do that like RIGHT before i play, so it doesn't get stiff (haw, haw) -- Posted by rufoo at 11:41 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Hah I used to play bass clarinet. Just suck on it for like 5 minutes straight. It should be wet and flexy so it wont chip or be difficult to play. For some reason I rather enjoy the new taste of reeds..
