Reed Vitalizer Multi-Instrument Case

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.

Good read case. I wish I had started with these from the beginning.

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.

I’ve played sax for over 30 years, and I do it well. This is a great little reed case. The humidity packs absolutely work. No more wavy warped reeds. However, I was going through the humidity packs pretty fast. Maybe every 1.5 months or so. I realized that it’s probably due to the case not being really air tight. They really should have a rubber gasket or something around the edge, but gotta keep the manufacturing costs in line with what people will pay. So, here’s a pro tip for you (maybe from one pro to another): put the reed holder in a good ziploc bag. I just keep my holder in a ziploc bag when storing. I’m going on like 4-5 months at this point and the humidity bag is probably still 20-30% life left. That’s way longer than without the ziploc bag. Makes total sense too. I give this product 4 stars because it’s a humidity container that doesn’t seal well enough to maximize the life of the humidity bag. I would want to see a rubber seal along the edges of the container to really trap that humidity in the container.

My jazz director is also a sax player and this is what he uses and recommended it. Easy to use, functional, holds 8 reeds, good quality and reeds fit great. Get a reed humidity pack with it to keep your reeds lasting longer and better in shape. I play on Robertos Winds 2.5 soft reeds, which I don't think Amazon sells unfortunately, but my local store PM Woodwinds does so I can order those there.

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!

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.

Purchased this case for my son. He plays alto sax. We live in Arizona where the humidity can get down to as low as 2% which can dry out, warp and damage reeds. During the Monsoon season it can get really humid. We have both extremes here, but mostly low humidity. The case comes with a 73% RH packet which is keeping his reeds in "nearly" ready to play condition. Places the reed in his lips for a few seconds and he is ready to go. Currently he is using Rico Royal reeds. Its a well made case and you can use the case without the humidity control pack and it fits inside the storage compartment inside his instrument case. Its about half the price on Amazon compared to local music stores ($22 - $28).

Muito útil. Prático e fácil pra guardar

Arrived quickly and exactly as promised. Great product.

Sehr schönes, kompaktes Etui das für unsere Sax Blätter genutzt wird. Ist sehr kompakt und sieht zudem gut aus. Kann ich nur empfehlen, habe dadurch immer mehrere verschiedene Blätter sofort zur Verfügung.

A mí me resulta muy práctico, junto con las bolsitas Bóveda del 72/00

L’ho regalata a Rocco Traettino che è un sassofonista Jazz e dice che le sue ance nn subiscono più variazioni, umide al punto giusto, perfette e pronte all’uso. È di ottimo materiale, ha diverse postazioni,pratico e va anche nella custodia da viaggio (bagaglio a mano). Un oggetto perfetto per chi ha necessità di avere ance pronte.
