Dry Reed Care Bundle

If you've played in Calgary, you know what dry air does to reeds. You pull out a favourite reed and it's warped. You set one down between sets and come back to find it split. You're mid-rehearsal and feel the reed drying out on the mouthpiece as you play. None of it is bad luck — it's just what happens when wood meets a climate with almost no humidity.

This bundle is our answer to that problem, and it covers both sides of it.

The Lagan Reed Jar handles storage. It's an airtight container with a built-in hygrometer so you can actually see the humidity level inside, and it uses humidifier packs to keep conditions stable. It holds more reeds than most comparable cases at a fraction of the footprint — small enough to live in your gig bag without taking over. If you've ever lost a reed to warping in a case or a drawer, this is the fix.

The François Louis Smart Cap handles the time between playing. A damp sponge inside the cap keeps the reed humid while it's sitting on the mouthpiece — at gigs, marching rehearsals, theater pits, or any time you're putting the horn down and picking it back up throughout the night. Doublers especially will appreciate it: set the horn down, pick it up twenty minutes later, and the reed is right where you left it.

Two problems, two solutions, one bundle. Your reeds will last longer, play more consistently, and stop surprising you at the worst moments.
