The ReedGeek
Those of you who follow BetterSax closely, know just how much I love the ReedGeek and what it can do for my saxophone playing.
Earlier this year, my good friend Kyle Roberts came by to catch up and pick up his new tool. I brought him back a ReedGeek from the NAMM show and in the video I give a quick tutorial on how to get better performance from saxophone reeds using the ReedGeek.
Another great tool to help maintain your reeds is the Vandoren Hygro Reed Case. It has a replacement humidity disk and sponge to prevent your reeds from drying out too much.
Check out our full conversation and ReedGeek tutorial below!

This video was very helpful regarding The Reed Geek. I have one of these myself and intend on implementing some of the tips you demonstrated.
Since gigs are basically non-existent I have plenty of Fri/Sat nights to work on some crappy reeds!
