Review on Jones A110 Soaker Cup + Orchestra Stand Clip by Katie Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Essential for any double reed player

My eldest son plays the oboe. She recently asked for a bowl of reeds to soak. The reason for buying it is that saliva will attack the stick itself, causing it to break. In addition, the double cane cannot get wet in the mouth when sucking on the cane. Therefore, it makes sense to soak the leaf in water so that both leaves not only get wet, but also don't break as quickly. Since good quality trekking poles are quite expensive, it is advisable to keep them in good working order for as long as possible. After receiving the cup, the manufacturer suggests boiling the lid. You can see in my photos the lid is too small to fit pre-cooking, but once it's boiling and you put it on the lid fits snugly. As you can see, the clip holds up well on music stands at school. with a photo of his daughter. I even tried it on my husband's coaster here at home and it stayed in place too. What makes this clip better than others is that it attaches to the stand post, not where you place your music. One thing my daughter noticed is that the cup tends to smell. However, this is not uncommon as you are putting something in your mouth in a cup and of course you are dealing with a humid environment. Ideal environment for microbes. She just makes sure to clean the bowl well once a week. This not only helps to properly wet the sheet, but also protects it from premature wear. At $20 a stick, the savings add up pretty quickly. In addition, it nestles against the stand bar and the lid is very tight after cooking. Pros: Attaches to the base of the stand. Has a tight fit. Wets the sheet well and prolongs its life.
