Nice vid! I totally used to do all that Reed storage stuff I must admit, but now I’ve started doing…nothing! 😂 I just let the Reed dry out between playing. It stops any mould, and it plays totally fine the next time. ☺️

Thanks a lot for the Video. I Tried the Vodka method…..and it works!!!!!! 👍👍👍😊😊Until now I always used a wet sponge inside the storage box (different brands), but it‘s a big Problem with hygiene. Conserving is better with Vodka too. The sandpaper method is also the best one, i‘m using it for decades. You are a great musician and your vids are very beautiful and well done. I love your sound, articulation and phrasing, played with Great feeling and emotion. Thanks a lot for playing! 👍😊

Very cool video . Highly educational. Muchas felicidades, excelente video. I loved it.

[@kevindeibert3369]

Daddario (formerly Rico) reeds have always been my go to reeds. The newer Select Jazz reeds are pretty good. I’ve never been a big Vandoren fan but recently I’ve been liking the Traditional or V16. My favorites are Lupafaro but are hard to find . Reeds are finicky and unpredictable! I’m a doubler (Saxophones/Clarinets/Flutes) so this complicates things !

Great video! I have been soaking my reeds in vodka but Felicity’s sponge seems less soggy. Incidentally if you want to try a reedgeek try a lathe tool first and save some bucks - mine is bought on eBay from Anchor Tool ltd (square tool bit 5/16x3 1/2)

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

😊❤️🎷

[@jazzcat9363]

When I play classical music, I generally play on a size 5. The resistance it gives helps to hold me back. But it's getting to a point where even 5s are becoming too soft for me, lol. But when I play jazz, I typically go somewhere between 2-3 depending on the mouthpiece I use. Though lately i've just decided to stick with 2.5 and am trying to just stick with one mouthpiece (well, one for jazz and one for classical) as opposed to having many different ones.

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

Great video, thanks a lot Felicity, I was wondering if just medical alcohol could do the job, it would be maybe less expensive :) I was using Vandoren ZZ 2.5 and now I prefere Legere synthetic american cut reeds 2.0 and I'm very happy about them. It saves so much time and Vodka :):):). Thanks again. you are gorgeous and skilly, keep on feeding us with great videos. Congrats !

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

I tried with a medical alcohol, but it left a horrible taste on my reeds. Vodka seems tasteless. Vodka is definitely very expensive here in Norway ! I paid more than 50$ for that small bottle 😅 If you should use some other type of alcohol, check if it’s ok to ingest. Don’t use an alcohol for cleaning for example.

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

☺️❤️❤️😂 Thank you! I am so used to Vandoren. I can't get used to any other reeds. I was on tour last 10 months and this Vodka idea was brilliant! I often needed to be ready immediately and nobody cares about our problems with reeds 😆

[@roman_borisenko]

For me now the best "Legere. American cut". Always ready to play, no need to soak, they sound equally good in hot and cold weather, and the lifespan is 20-30 times longer than that of ordinary reeds.

Hi thank you very much for the video! Could you please tell us how you take care of your un-lacquered Sax?💖💖💖

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

Hello! Thank you for asking. I clean my saxophone every time I play it by using a saxophone swab to remove moisture, and a cleaning cloth to gently wipe the body of the instrument. Additionally, once a year I take my saxophone to a luthier for a revision.

[@Puh10]

@@Felicitysaxophonist Thank you for the quick reply. So you don't use liquids or anything else?🏵

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

Not really. You can clean the keys with a cloth and synthetic alcohol, but avoid liquid cleaners on saxophone pads, as they can cause damage or deterioration. Instead, rely on dry cleaning methods like pad savers or soft cloths.

[@simonsimon5124]

[@friofrost09]

2:06 Even if it was just an exemple it was great

[@ed.z.]

I used Finlandia Vodka but my reeds got drunk and ignored time signatures, my tonguing, most of time it would start playing other songs. So I took a box of Vandoren green for alto, and red box for tenor, to an AA meeting. They asked me to leave because the reeds were soaking-up coffee. They blamed me. I love my reeds but they won’t listen to me unless I speak to them with a French accent. I switched them to wine. And tomorrow I’ll give them a little beer (Guinness for the green box, Heineken for the reds).

This is a great video especially the tips about cleaning with vodka. I also noticed that reedjuvenate say to use Listerine original which is not available here in the UK anymore either. To clean my reeds I have used alcohol wipes (the kind they use to wipe skin before giving you a blood test). Because this is isopropyl alcohol it will kill microbes very effectively.

[@Felicitysaxophonist]

Just be sure the alcohol you use is also ok to ingest.

[@mikem1517]

@@Felicitysaxophonist you are right good point. What I usually do is wipe the reed every now and again and the alcohol evaporates but then I always rinse my reeds under the tap before playing. However I really like the method with the jar and sponge you've shown and that way it means you can maintain the humidity level. Also vodka tastes better and makes me at least think I sound better after a couple of shots lol
