Reed Storage Comparison Reedjuvinate vs Parsley? Pt 2

[@nickbowd]

Awesome mate. Thanks. Nothing worse than getting on a stage and your reed’s so warped that you squeak like a beginner. Moisture control is crucial. Great skills in just making your own. Good tips.

[@marcogomez2232]

My sax teacher hasn't taught me a way to keep my reeds from drying, so as beginner I find this very useful. I'll definitely try the parsley method for keeping my reeds moist and sanitary.

[@Sirvalorsax]

Cool. Thanks for tuning in to my channel

[@janymikeptz1156]

Very helpful, thanks you Sir!

[@reoscorpio]

since the cotton balls tend to cause over saturation of moisture.. maybe t would be better & less messier .. to use Q-tip swabs. they're smaller, take up less space, and might be easier to control the amount of wetness with the liquid just on the cotton

[@CassStevens]

How does this type of system compare to the Reed Storage Case with Humidity Control Pack type? Thanks.

[@nickbowd]

With the hydrogen peroxide do you rinse the reed after it’s been in it? Is it ok to consume small amounts of it? Does it taste ok?

[@GrahameEasthope]

I've got Rejuvenate. Don't like the reed holders. Don't like the sponge so I just use the container, and 4 Vandoren reeds in their holders fit into the container. They naturally stay well humidifed after using hydrogen peroxide on the reeds with a splash of original brown coloured Listerine. The others contain sugar I've heard. Good to know if the Rejuvenate case breaks, I can just buy some parsley flakes :-)

[@Sirvalorsax]

LOL!

[@adysaxman77]

Just use a plastic reed, and you run it under the tap to clean. 😊

[@jamespritchard5301]

Savage!

[@Vanamutt]

I made a system with a 300ml jar and I glued a piece of sponge on the lid(inside). I play vandoren reeds but use Rico's reed holder thingys and vodka for the liquid. I play clarinet and it's been a life changer.

[@Sirvalorsax]

I like to use Peroxide. It works best to spray it and let it air dry. If left wet, I found that after a few weeks it gets moldy. Some people under 21 may have problems getting vodka and I'm pretty sure they won't be using it for reeds. LOL!!!

Hello Mr Survival saxofon I wonder if it is a good idea 2 store the the reads in a fridge to keep them cold Thanks for a good Channel.

[@Sirvalorsax]

I haven't ever thought of that. I have tried boiling reeds with no great success

[@burger1113]

Ive always used the rico reedcase with the humidity pack inside and it keeps my reed quite perfect but i guess i do brush my teeth almost every time i play... Bit of a germophobe. I don't know about the health concerns of using hperoxide, but i think i will definitly try something out with listerine!

[@nickbowd]

Do you use %3 hydrogen peroxide or do you dilute it more? Thanks.

[@Sirvalorsax]

I rinse it afterwards. It is the over the counter stuff that you can buy at any dollar store

[@thewarhenk]

So, I compared Hydrogen Peroxide w/ Listerine and the Listerine did much better at controlling bacteria. HP is typically 97% water and 3% HP- reeds got moldy. I have 2 Reedjuvente(s)- pricey, not perfect, only holds three, but combined w/ Listerine, they work very well.

[@hijauinternational]

I’m using medicine containers with liquor. It works for me.

[@Sirvalorsax]

What kind of liquor? LOL?!?!

[@MrTNBassmaster]

So how you like working on a cruise ship? That seems like a cool gig! It would also be cool to do a video on that !

[@Sirvalorsax]

I'm pretty cryptic about the ship thing because they don't pay me to advertise their brand through social media amd it could lead to some legal problems. If I do a video (which I'm planning) I have to be very careful about the content

[@MrTNBassmaster]

@@Sirvalorsax yes sir ! I fully agree,. I just meant in general no brands or nothing just the high points . Like what's it like ect... The atmosphere and the general playing in that setting. Thanks from Wv

[@Sirvalorsax]

Are you interested in working on ships?

[@MrTNBassmaster]

@@Sirvalorsax yes I am , I'm 42 getting ready to retire as a chemical engineer . And do something I love to do. Thanks for you're time

[@Sirvalorsax]

Oh HELL YEH!! I highly recommend this job for a qualification that you have. Generally, 3 types. #1, I recommend this for retired "anyone" (usually military) because you can bank 2 checks and not NEED to be on a ship. #2, For students in college that need to stop accumilating debt that you won't be able to ever pay off. #3, Career criminals that can legally pass a background check amd legally leave the state/country that are looking to turn over a new leaf.

[@javierquesada798]

friend where do you sell that container?

[@Sirvalorsax]

I bought mine on Amazon

[@BodhiFitness]

And it looks great too 😝

[@Sirvalorsax]

Next time I'll use a different seasoning. It turns out that I really don't like the smell of Parsley. LOL!!!

[@websoupe]

I use an hermetic plastic box with a digital hygrometer (€3.22 on amazon.fr). I try to keep the ambiant moisture in the box around 63%/64%. Then the reeds are perfect for me. Sure you can use a cotton ball with hydrogene peroxide or Listerine if it becomes too dry. The digital hygrometer: www.amazon.fr/Royalr-Thermomètre-Réfrigérateur-Congélateur-Température/dp/B07FMFRC7H/ref=sr_1_40

[@Sirvalorsax]

Thanks for the info.

[@websoupe]

@@Sirvalorsax More: link to the box picture. The lid is only placed on the box that I only close if it is too dry inside. In most cases, the humidity of the reeds played is sufficient to maintain the good percentage (close to 63/64%). I can open the lid a little bit if it’s too wet. I easily take the box in my saxophone case. This home-made ‘hygrometric’ reed case is placed on my working table, so from time to time I can check the percentage, to open or close, the lid or to add Listerine/Peroxide. Link: adobe.ly/2yVGZGM

[@websoupe]

Alto reeds on the pic.

[@javierquesada798]

I use medicine container for the pills of the big ones and I put them boka
