A woodwind reed case is an essential accessory for any musician playing a woodwind instrument, such as a clarinet or saxophone. When shopping for a woodwind reed case, there are several things you should take into consideration.
Size is one of the most important factors when buying a woodwind reed case. The size of the case needs to be matched to the size of your instrument’s reeds. If the case is too large or small for the reeds, it may damage them over time. It is also important to ensure the case has enough room to accommodate the number of reeds you need.
Another factor to consider is portability. Woodwind reed cases come in many different shapes and sizes. Choose one that is lightweight and easy to carry, as well as protect your reeds from damage. Hard cases tend to be the best option for travelling, while soft cases with foam lining can provide extra protection against knocks and bumps.
The material of the case is also important. Cases are usually made from either leather or hard plastic. Plastic cases are inexpensive and hardy, while leather cases give a more luxurious feel. However, leather cases can be more expensive and susceptible to wear and tear.
Finally, consider the storage capabilities of the case. Many come with extra pockets and sections to store accessories such as spare reeds, cleaning cloths and swabs. As well as providing extra space for your instruments, these compartments can help keep your reeds organised.
