Description

Have you ever opening up a new reed, and began playing only to see it warp or crack within the first hour. It felt crushed in dismay by having your favourite reed warp and crack?

The ReedJar is a convenient reed storage container that utilizes Boveda packets and a *completely* airtight design to maintain a perfect humidity controlled environment for your reeds. If you live somewhere dry(like here in Calgary Alberta) this may be a lifesaver for you.
With a built in hygrometer, you can keep a close eye on the humidity level inside the jar as seasons change to make sure your reeds stay happy. 
The Boveda packets are stored in the walls of the jar to envelop the reeds nested inside with the humidity level of your choosing. Because this jar is actually airtight (check suction test video!), you may find that a lower humidity level works better at keeping reeds stable without molding. We have them in 72% because of how dry Calgary is.
The reeds sit on a classic slotted tray so they can get air circulation underneath to help prevent warping. Each slot is labeled with a number on the inside so you can remember which ones are performance ready.
Alto and Bari/Tenor sizes designed to fit neatly inside the bell of your saxophone to free up storage space elsewhere. 

Sizing

  • Bb Clarinet: Holds 13 Bb Clarinet reeds and smaller. Dimensions 95mmx58mm
  • Alto Sax: Holds 16 Alto Saxophone reeds and smaller (includes Bb clar, soprano sax, etc.) Dimensions 98mmx66mm
  • Tenor/Bari: Hold 16 Bari Sax reeds and smaller (includes tenor sax, bass clarinet, alto sax, etc) Dimensions 118mmx73mm

 

  • Not dishwasher safe. Wash with luke warm water and mild detergent if needed. Hygrometer not waterproof
  • Hygrometer is press fit. To remove gently pry with large flat head screw driver (or similar) in the 4 gaps near edge
  • Temperature can be changed between Fahrenheit and Celsius by removing hygrometer and pressing button on back
  • Battery type: LR44 Button
  • The cage that secures the Boveda packets is quite thin to keep overall footprint as small as possible. Because of this it is quite fragile! When there is no Boveda packet supporting the cage wall it can be susceptible to cracking. This only matters when replacing packets so please be careful and exercise patience when changing out packets.
  • Packets should be replaced when humidity drops below desired level according to hygrometer reading, or when they get dried up and crispy
