What is the best way to store reed?
To prevent the growth of mold and mildew, reed should not be stored in a damp location such as a basement. Of course, if the room it is stored in is too dry, such as an attic or next to a wood stove, the reed will become brittle. Paper grocery bags, cardboard boxes or plastic milk crates work well for storing reed. They can be easily labeled with the size and type of reed and if there is any dampness in the reed it should evaporate.
