Product review (3 stars): It's just not for me...
I've been playing saxophone for about 20 years. I'd say for about 10 years I used a waterlogged/mouthwash method of maintaining my reeds in a small container. I learned this from someone in grad school. With this method, I never had a problem with reeds warping or drying out, there was never any prep involved before I needed to use one and they were long lasting. I thought I'd give this a shot to see what all the fuss was about. Unfortunately, I didn't have good results. I cycled 4 tenor sax reeds for almost 2 weeks and after the first week my reeds started warping. Close to the end of the second week they were brittle and almost completely dried out. They started playing rough and I always ended up having to soak them in water to get them straight and playable. The humidifier is supposed to last for 45 to 60 days.

I do like the design of this case. I like the concept. I like the fact that it's compact and sleek looking. However, for me, looks just don't matter as much as the dependable functionality I was used to. I see this product has overwhelmingly positive reviews and if you like it that's fine. Maybe people haven't discovered or experienced anything better than this product before. It's not for me though. When I was using the waterlogged method, for almost 10 years, I never had problems with reeds like I've had with this. My reeds were always ready to play, warm never brittle and never warped. So, I'll be going back to what works for me.
