If you use this right, it will change your life re: reeds. Make sure you follow the directions.
I've been using this thing for about 3 weeks now, with 73%, and so far it's working really well. I was at my wit's end for a while trying to figure out how to keep my reeds from warping so much....it's quite a relief to finally find something that works. I don't have to soak them as much when I first take them out, and the warping on the back is very slight compared to what it used to be. Not sure how well the bag is going to hold up--I'm thinking about taping around the seams with packing tape or duct tape to reinforce them some. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this product.
Using the 73% model for about 6 weeks and it is a time saver. I play every day and the reeds are almost ready to be used and only require little wetting. I've had no problems with mold! I recommend this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will save you time. Oh yea, the clear package makes it easy to find the particular reed you want to use.
I used this over the winter, and I really think it helps stabilize my reeds. I used the two higher humidity levels, and both worked for me with no mold problems. I experimented using the packets in other containers as well. The packets will break down if you put them in regular freezer bags. Works ok in the newer Vandoren reed case, but not as well as in the Reedvitalizer bag. Unfortunately, I managed to rip open my Reedvitalizer bag, so I am having to buy a new one. I wish the bags were sturdier and came in different sizes.
I've been playing for a living for over forty years and this reed-care product has, by far, been a game-changer with regard to the number of playable reeds per box that I have ever encountered. I'm SUPER picky about the reeds I use in performance, and have always spent hours upon hours breaking-in and adjusting my reeds before they ever get to the stage(usually 1-2 weeks). And even with that, I would usually only get 5-8 reeds per box on tenor(LaVoz). I've had my first vitalizer kit for about two weeks now and I'm floored by the difference this system makes in the day to day characteristics of my reeds. I still break them in, in the same way I always have. But for the first time in memory, I have 10 out of 10 reeds from the same box that all play magnificently, and are ready for performance! Since I like to break-in a box of reeds at once, I'm using the 58% pack. That seems to give just enough moisture to keep my reeds from "changing" and warping. All I have to do is pull one out, wet it in my mouth for a few seconds(no water!), and play! I used to use water all the time and continually had mold problems. In the last year I've stopped using water and only use my saliva. No more mold! I've already ordered kits for alto, bari, and clarinet. This is one of the greatest tools for reed players that I've ever seen. Get it today!
