Title: Reed seperators
Post by: PALongspur on March 24, 2013, 06:38:58 PM
Just curious what everyone uses for seperating the reeds on their mouth calls?

Paper clips?

Toothpicks?

Commercial seperators?

I use the primos ones. I usually wash them put in the reed seperators and after they dry sprinkle them with talcum powder.

I spray them with diaphresh and put them away.  Every separator I've ever used ended up sticking and ripping the latex eventually.

I use paperclips bent to shape.  Usually put a loop on each side.

To keep from ripping the latex, I put it in my mouth for a bit until the get all slobbery then take the paper clip out.  Does using thin plastic coated paper clips stretch the latex over time?

I took some plastic vanes that I had left over from building some arrows, and cut them to shape and used them. They work great...

I use the green thingies from Starbucks that keep your coffee from spilling. They are tapered and have a wide bulge at the end. Work great.

Toothpicks broken in half for me, usually wet the reeds before removing it.  Plastic fork teeth is a great idea though, will keep that in mind.
