Reed Mold: What to Do About It
An important note about this video:
*Just got off the phone with BK Son of Silverstein, makers of Reed Cure. He wanted to clarify the purpose/function of the Reed Cure, and I felt it appropriate to share that here. The Reed Cure is not intended to kill mold or fungus that is already present on the reed. For that, use the H2O2 method (or vinegar, if you can handle that taste). The Reed Cure is intended to prevent the growth of harmful germs in already “clean” reeds. This is something I can’t easily test, but you’re welcome to try it at home — your mileage may vary :)
The rest of the claims made on this product are something I can’t speak to (rejuvenating tired reeds, etc.), but at least we can clear this up.
Thanks, Mike*
