Oboe Bassoon 1.5 oz Violet Reed Soaking Cup with Gold Cap & Stand Clip

Description

New item for June 2022!
Translucent violet reed soaking cup with removable gold cap and Music Stand Clip Set.
The 1.5 oz. cup is violet in color and made of a flexible plastic with a twist on gold lid. The matching clip attaches to most black metal or plastic band stands.  The durable plastic band is flexible and will not rust.  An instruction card is provided with each clip set.  The cup is approximately 2 and 3/4 inches in height and the lid measures 1.5 inches in diameter.
You will receive one cup and one clip per set.
Please
note that although these cups are approximately 70 mm. tall (the length of most
finished oboe reeds) it is advisable not to close the lid with an oboe reed
inside, as this can cause damage to the tip. When walking with oboe reeds is
best to keep the reed in a reed case to protect the reed from damage. Carrying
the reeds in the reed cup with or without water inside is not recommended as
the reed can be damaged quite easily.
This
cup and clip set is designed to soak oboe reeds in the cup during ensemble
rehearsals and performances with the cup resting securely in the clip band
which is attached to the pole of a music stand. While the reeds can be soaked
in the cup alone, placing the cup on music stands or on the floor leave the cup
vulnerable to spilling, and damage to the reeds. The stand clip comes in handy
to protect the reed cup from spilling.
The
reeds should be placed in the cup in the clip band during rehearsals and
performances. It is advisable to soak oboe reeds for 2 to 4 minutes. Over
soaking the reeds is not advisable, as it can affect the quality and response
of the oboe reeds and shorten the lifespan of the reed. It is advisable to soak
only the reeds that will be used in the rehearsal or performance, since placing
oversoaked reeds in a reed case can cause the reeds to mold. Be sure reeds are
dry before placing them in a reed case.
