hello forum , i use the black plasticover rico 1 and 1 1/2 they do dry out , i pick up my clarinet after 4 days 35 % humidity in the house , very little sound coming out i ran the mouth piece with the reed under the faucet for about 3 seconds , let it sit 5 minutes , the clarinet started playing , so its my observation that the black reeds do need to be wetted if the enviorment is dry
