D’Addario Woodwinds Multi-Instrument Reed Vitalizer Case (RVCASE04)

The best reed case I have ever tried it has a humidifier that keeps the reeds in a good condition and so many professional players are using these cases because they are first of all have and affordable price and they have a humidifier that no matter where place you go, the reeds does not change with the weather. And you and it fits eight reeds. And if you need to fit more reeds, you can buy another one because the price is very cheap comparing to other clarinet reed cases. Plus what I like about it that the shape inside the case you can fit either Bass Clarinet reed because the ship from inside is wide so it fit, or E flat Clarinet or B flat Clarinet. And what’s nice about it that it works also for saxophone reeds. Thank you for this wonderful reed case.

I've been using Vandoren reeds with a Selmer reed case for a number of years now. I heard about some of the pros using Rico reeds and thought, "Really? Rico?? Isn't Rico the default brand that beginners play on before they discover what real reeds are like?" But I tried a few different ones, and I'm now using them instead of Vandoren. I liked the Rico Reserve Classic reeds the best, but I also got some Grand Concert reeds, which come with one of the humidifier packs included in the box. I tried using it with my Selmer reed case in a ziploc bag (I would always keep the case in a ziploc bag, anyway). At first, I couldn't tell too much of a difference in the reeds, but when I stopped using the humidifier pack, my reeds seemed worse. I tried another humidifier pack, but it hardened up too quickly. I think it was because the ziploc bag was used and not completely sealed tight. It was also a little cumbersome to have the humidifier pack loose in the ziploc bag. That made me want to try one of these Rico reed cases which were designed to hold the humidifier packs.As I looked at this product online, I thought, "huh, it's plastic... that's kind of cheap" and "the reeds aren't kept on a glass surface, so how do I know that they won't get warped or something?" I was skeptical and still too attached to my Selmer case. But after thinking about it a while and considering other positive reviews on amazon and elsewhere, I decided, "Well, it's less than $20, so it's worth a shot. If I don't like it, I don't have to keep using it."When the produce arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. It was better quality than I expected. I wouldn't say that it's super high quality like the reed cases with wood and velvet, but it's pretty good for the price. Although it's plastic, the outside has a soft feel to it, and the case closes securely with a thin rubber ring along the edge to keep in the moisture. The humidifier pack fits perfectly in its designated place, and the reed slots are numbered. Because the case can fit multiple sizes of reeds, it came with a set of adhesive labels for different instruments (Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, etc.). There's a small rectangle on the back of the case which is where the label is intended to go. Since I just needed it for clarinet reeds and nothing else, I didn't bother putting a label on it, but I was pleased to know that Rico was considerate to give me the option.At first I wasn't sure what I would think about the individual slots for the reeds and the rubber bands and plastic backing. I was used to the flat piece of glass in my Selmer case. But after using it for a while, the reeds are working great, and the slots make it easier to keep track of each one. I find myself playing on more of my reeds than before.After using the case for a few weeks now, I can say that it's great to use, and I would certainly recommend it to other players, beginners or advanced or well seasoned.

Excellent and light reed storage and together with the replaceable humidity control packs (replace every 4 weeks or so) effectively preserve the correct humidity level for the stored reeds, helping to prolong the reed life.

I love to soak, humidify, and really break in my reeds. (If you haven't started doing that.. then begin now) This case is good for my process. It makes my reeds last so long because theyre nice and dehumidified.Compact. Easy to open. Recommend

I do think these cases make a difference, even if it is subtle. First, I'm a bassoonist. Case is nice and big to give tons of room to breathe, stable and sturdy, and the pins are not solid but have channels so air can get in the tube. Reeds seem to be the same day after day. In the early process of making a reed, breaking it in, and letting it stabilize, I think these cases can prevent some of that. Often I open the case in the morning and all of my reeds start immediately crackling like newly formed blanks do. This suggests that they haven't aired out and adjusted or settled in overnight. However once reeds are completely stable and settled (wouldn't crackle as they dry out anymore), I have found this case to prevent warped corners and other strange humidity effects. At the same time, the case is about as expensive (or cheaper) than the basic fox plastic case so you might as well try it. Do be careful that you open the cases at least once a day to be safe - they will mold otherwise, even without the humidity packs in there - they seal air tight. Also, I'd like to be able to choose the humidity pack that comes with a new case, I use the 54%. I use this one because I found that it just keeps the reeds stable, without having them almost soaked. One more caveat with this though is that you will need to bring your water with you. I played an audition where I had put the wet/soaked reed in the case for the ~10 minutes walk around before you play. When I got on stage and pulled the reed out the case had done a wonderful job of drying it out!

Purchased this for my teenage son. Reeds are so fragile, and this works well for his bassoon and oboe reeds. I was kind of hesitant about the price and quality, but it is worth it. He has his Reeds in a safe, dry place. The case fits inside his instrument cases as well. Definitely recommend.

Great for all different single instrument reeds. I hold alto, soprano, and clarinet reeds together in one case. The new Boveda hydro packs are slightly larger than the slot, but it still mostly fits!

Good
